**currently on hold because June is a busy month for me** _ [highest ranking is #31 in horror-thriller] [on hold for half of june] [participating in various contests] _ Everyone knows that after Sarah Winchester's husband's death, she built a home for the wandering spirits she thought haunted her. Not just any average home - a mansion with at least seven stories of secrets, a mansion so complex that the workers had to use a map to find their way around. To confuse the spirits, she built trap hallways, secret passage doors that leads to nothing but a concrete wall, stairs that lead to a certain death and miniature doorways. The town took her as a mad woman. When she died, her niece inherited all her values and one warning; don't step foot on the Winchester Mansion, which was believed lived many spirits in search for revenge. But that was fifty-three years ago. Sarah's niece had kids, then her kid's had kids and so forth. So when the descendant of Sarah's great-great niece and four others were dared to visit the place where her boss was murdered they find themselves in a dangerous refuge, hiding from a mass murderer, inside of a certain mansion in the middle of the woods. When they're too far in the mansion, they realize they can't escape the clutches of the four walls that seem to follow them everywhere. No power. No service. And one is guilty. _ [started: april 11th, 2018] [copyright © 2018, briela vedo] [all rights reserved]

"I must have hit my head a lot harder than I had anticipated, or maybe breathe too much smoke because this is definitely nut-case crazy. Or a very creepy dream that feels way too real for my own good. I can pat my subconscious on the back for that one, but at the same time, it might be a little over the top." When Melody set fire to a museum she didn't expect to hit her head on the pavement and wake up in a nightmare. But she does. And this nightmare is not a nightmare apparently--it's a curse. A curse that traps her into paintings. And there's no escaping from the wrath of a possessed painting out to teach an art-hater a lesson.
