No Rest for the Wicked

"You new in town?" The man at the till asked.

"My sister's moving in a ways away from here. I'm just helping her move in before flying home." James had said.

"How far?"

"Bout... Two hours?" I said.

"Pfft, the only place out that far is Allerdale." One boy said at a nearby booth.

"Exactly. I spent the better part of three years renovating that place." I said, taking the bag with the Subs.

"I give you two weeks." Another boy said.

"Two weeks?"

"Two weeks to live. You know the story, right?" The first boy asked.

"I know the legend, yes."

***

Kira Thompson, after heavy renovations and three years worth of work, is the proud new owner of Allerdale Hall, it's first in almost 120 years. Despite the rumors and legends that came from the old building, Kira doesn't believe in the ghosts that had supposedly helped Edith Cushing escape back in 1901.

After all, who would belive something like that?

But, as they say, there's no rest for the wicked...

***

Crimson Peak is a movie by Guillermo Del Toro, all characters and concepts belong to him and such. I don't claim to have come up with the basis, but this story is mine, as are the characters NOT in said movie, including Kira Thompson.

Cover not mine, media isn't mine unless I say otherwise.
