Six teenagers decide to have a party in it one October night. They're huddled in the old living room on half-derelict chairs and a couch positioned 'round a coffee table piled high with beer cans, cheap vodka, schnapps(?!), and a couple of crinkled baggies, the contents of which look a little like candy from a distance. Suddenly, there's a thundering crash from upstairs. Startled beyond measure, everyone looks up, their eyes straining to the ceiling and lips pursed, mouths suddenly silent, wondering if all hell might fall upon them from above. It's silent though, other than for the faint wail of a distant siren. The sound of the siren fades out and the house spirits seem to settle along with it… when the unmistakable sound of a creaking door sends the group into clenched panic again. "Someone's upstairs!" Kaitlyn wimpers. ""Ssshhh. Ssshhh!!!" "Shut up!" Dellan whispers insistently. All six hold their breath. Tony and Tia grasp hands tightly. Gillian fixes her eyes on Trey. "Someone has to see what that is." Trey stares her down impassively. "I'm. Staying. Right. Here." None of the six can move a muscle, only their eyes seeking out any reassurance from their equally immobilized friends. Tony's flashlight, pointed at the ceiling, has been slowly dimming throughout the party. It flickers once and goes out. He drops his grip of Tia's hand and lunges for the flashlight, knocking the coffee table over, sending everything flying and crashing to the floor creating a calamitous racket. Everyone screams, there's no way to pretend they're not in the house now, they run to a corner and peer into the dark. "Dellan, go see what it is!" "We should all stick together Kaitlyn!" "Dellan, go see!" "I - I'll go" offers Tony, like he's never seen a horror film before.

I just drove by there today with my 90 year old mother who wanted to show her caregiver where she used to live in 1964. my parents rented the home there ( see my photo ) for 200.00 per month. her brother lived next door with his wife and child and rented to 18 men , all sharing rooms. they would line up for their turn to use the kitchen to cook dinner. each night, my parents and her brothers family would go to their respective windows, and shout their "goodnights" to each other . so sad to see this building in such a stateRox Condominiums – Land Services Group
