My 30 Days of Spooky Tales competition

Prompt 22 - What's in the Abandoned House?

~~~ Using the picture, in 100 words, write about what you find once entering the abandoned house.~~~ 

I don't remember much of my childhood home that my parents kept secret until they died. I opened the creaky door with effort from the old big key in the rusty lock. A light popped on even though there shouldn't be electricity. Sparse furniture pieces were covered in dust and dirt layered the floor. A little girl stood before me, as if she had been there from the beginning.

"Hi Lydia." I said, extending the new cloth doll to her. She smiled and I remember my older sister who had fallen over the rail to her death so long ago.
