LYING IN WAIT

 Just walking onto the rickety porch and through the massive double front doors was creepy enough. One’s eyes would instantly be drawn up the sweeping, spiral staircase off the vestibule, and see door after door leading to bedchambers and baths.   Norman was glad his clients never asked to go upstairs. 


He purposely removed the basement light bulb because something down there felt as though it had been lying in wait for decades.  Whatever it was, he didn’t want it disturbed—not on his watch.  The house frightened away everyone, except for the undaunted new owner.   

I wrote this scene into the storyline for a reason. Can you guess why?
