At the end of our street , there is a hidden road that lead  you to a dead end . At the end you where met with one of most enchanting Victorian houses in Maine  . The house was abandoned years ago by a couple who where said to have lost their minds and just left out of no where. The city believed that the house was no good anymore, it had been on the market for several years, but no one seemed Interested enough to
buy it . Soon the road that seemed empty was bustling with machines that would soon tear the house down. Days after the workers started a young couple that had a one in a half year old son named Tyler began frantically knocking  door to door to find their son. The search began with just a few neighbors helping , but soon it turned into a search that involved the police. Hours turned to days and soon days turned into months, but still no sign of the little boy that went missing almost a year ago. The workers stopped with the city's dismissal until Further notice . The house and machines began to rust and rot away , until  the search of now 4 year old Tyler came to an end
With no luck of ever finding him . The city soon went back to work , and the house soon came tumbling down with a loud crushing sound with screams of  the the city's workers. Soon the ambulance came rushing down the street with sirens blaring out noise to tell everyone to get out of their way. On the news the next day, the worker that was crushed had been pronounced dead after hours of fighting for his life. The city continued after the week long  memorial for the worker ended. The house became nonexistent after weeks of cleaning up the rubbage left by the house. The plot of land was empty now , and  neighborhood became dead .

During times like this everyone need each other but the neighborhood had died out after the tragic events.
