Full-time college student, Daphany Vohrees, only took the part-time delivery work for Five Star Cosmetics because off-campus apartments were expensive and she had absolutely no intention of roughing it even one more year in the drafty old all-girls dorm. Her workday starts out as any other day before. That is, until a series of half-scribbled directions sends her on a wild goose chase down a lonesome, abandoned country highway. And when Daphany is met with car trouble in the middle of nowhere and not a cell phone tower in sight, she unwittingly sets off on foot for the nearest house.
Little did she know the horror that awaited her at the shadowy old drafty mansion perched at the edge of a withered country paradise. If she knew her arrival would unleash an ancient evil that's waited centuries for her sacrifice, perhaps she would have turned back...perhaps she never would have left the safety of her stalled vehicle at all.
***My intention is to write this novella in the fashion of the 60's and 70's Gothic Romance/Horror novels. Enjoy!***

She said to herself trying to calm her heartbeats. She stood right in front of the dusty glass door. Placing both her hands on it she tried to push the door.

Rhea was unable to focus on anything around her but the lady. The lady was saying something but for Rhea it felt like some random lips movement. She was scared out of her wits.
