The Mysteries of Harris Burdick is a 1984 picture book by the American author Chris Van Allsburg. It consists of a series of images and quotes for unfinished stories, created by Harris Burdick. A man who has mysteriously disappeared. "The Third Floor Bedroom" was one of his many unfinished stories, so this is my version of this story! Disclaimer: I don't own the image, the quote, the music, or the story prompt. That all belongs to Harris. I only own the story and characters. Enjoy! (Note: This is my first Wattpad story! I actually wrote this story a long time ago, so I have everything pre-made. Hope you enjoy, thanks!)
