Who's that in the back?

The radio is too loud. These trees are never ending. My hands don't stop shaking. I can't do this.

I pull over, in a forest, a big one. The road is new but never used, the asphalt is so smooth.

I get out and run into the woods, escaping the too-loud radio. I don't turn back to see the ghosts chasing me, I keep running on the uneven ground and slam into trees.

I stop when I come across a clearing. It has a small lake, flower field, more trees and...a cottage?

I walk closer to inspect it. It's old and run down, it looked like no one had stepped into it in years.

I try the door, but it doesn't budge so I try the broken windows. I cut my fingers while crawling inside but it's nothing.

The inside was a kitchen, it was vintage and musty, but in decent shape. There was a pantry, counter, sink and old fashioned oven.

I walked through the kitchen into the next room which was a living room, it had very old furniture like tables, china and cabinets and like one couch. But what caught my attention was the chandelier up high in the middle of the room.

There were 2 bedrooms, one big and one small. The small one had pink walls and a small dirty mattress on the floor with a big window. The big one had yellow walls with a big dirty matress, a double closet and small windows lining the top of the room, not so bad.

The bathroom had tiled floors with a bath, toilet and very vintage sink. The walls were the worst of the whole house, they were so gross.

I searched through the house and cabinets. Everything was in almost good shape, a few leaks and bugs but nothing that can't be fixed.

This would be amazing to live in.
