Every Architect of Ruin

Two years ago, I bought my first house. It wasn’t the way everyone said it would be. Didn’t feel like a huge life choice; I just dived in. I’d saved a bit of money and the place looked the part, so I just went for it. I really should’ve checked it better, but it worked out so, it’s all good. Some months later, I admitted to friends that I’d never been in the attic; I had no clue what it even looked like. They asked me about it for months and I kept joking that it was haunted until, despite not believing in such things, I almost convinced myself. Hell no, I’m not going up there. Fast forward to October ‘22 and a few of them asked again. Again, I told them it was probably haunted.
