Mystery in the Attic
The attic was filled with old, dusty boxes and a flickering lamp that cast eerie shadows on the worn wooden beams. A mysterious chest, made of dark oak and adorned with rusty iron hinges, sat at the centre. Folding chairs and leather-bound books lay scattered on the creaking floor. Outside the cracked window, the wind howled through the broken panes, adding an unsettling atmosphere to the abandoned house. Suddenly, a faint squeak echoed from the far corner, drawing attention to the strange, silent object resting beneath a tattered cloth.
