I will update this as the stories are written.
Part 1
“There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than dreamt of in your philosophy.” –Hamlet, Hamlet Act 1, Scene 5 Shakespeare.
Lenoresfield has several cul-de-sacs.
The most notable is the Honey Burrow Drive’s cul-de-sac.
Most of the houses on the cul-de-sac are normal, suburban houses. What makes this cul-
de-sac most notable is the infamous Feind House. It is a simple, one story house with an attic crawl space. The house was built in the 1920’s, and was abandoned in 1965 after the house’s last
owner, Mr. Feind died within. Legally, the bank could sell the property, as Feind had named no
heir; however, it was a hard sell. Eventually, the lawn became a weed-choked morass, and the
house itself fell into a depressing state of disrepair, and consequently condemned.
For twenty years, the Feind house remained silent and empty, spawning many legends concerning why the bank could not sell it. The most popular was Feind’s ghost prevented the sale, though a few of the older members of Lenoresfield muttered under their breath that Feind was a Satanist, and had cursed the house in a final act of defiance towards the bank’s attempts to
Foreclose on his house. There is no proof for either case.
Part 2
The Feind House had always been an enigma at the head of the cul-de-sac, and had spawned many a myth and legend about what was inside and why it had remained vacant for forty years. Some of the most popular were that the Ghost of the Old Man haunted the empty halls, while another claimed that Feind was a devoted Satanist, and in a final act of defiance, had cursed the house to prevent the bank from selling it once they foreclosed on it. Of course, both of these urban legends had no proof.
Until 2005. A common pastime of the children on Honey Burrow Drive involved daring each other to spend a night in the abandoned house. Most children could not make it past the first hour of daylight. The exception to the rule was Timothy Goldberg’s daughter, Maria. Maria’s bravery was the stuff of legends among the local kids. She climbed the Grand Oak in the mall of the same name, despite the numerous warnings by the security guards that they would have to arrest her, she had visited on several occasions Howard Philip’s patient in the psych ward, more commonly referred to as the Spider Queen, and even visited the old mask shop, Os Immortale.
Although the Goldbergs were relatively new to Lenoresfield, the Feind house had attracted Maria’s interest from the start. She asked around the local neighborhood, and heard all the urban legends. The idea to investigate the house festered the longer it remained at the edge of her sight, and every adventure she had before that was merely the climax building up to the denouement of her legendary exploits - the Feind house.
