It was at the end of one such hallway that John came upon the record room the room was small lit only by the sun filtering in through the curtain window facing the woods peeling wallpaper was yellow from years of cigar smoke with white rectangle suspended. Like ghosts on the walls, where picture frames once hung littered across the hardwood floor, where vinyl records coated in a layer of thick dust that

Puffed with each footfall catching John's eye was an old record player sitting in the corner. It was made from a rich dark wood, with ornate, carvings and garnished with embossed metal, a brass horn, flowered up and out from its base and a hand, crank sat ready at its side on its turntable, laid a record of such dark red that it was nearly black, the red, ridges and grooves of the Vinyl Gay John, the impression a blood cated hair he knew the record player must be worth something as an antique, but the price it would fetch would depend on whether it could still play so carefully. He moved the needle to the edge of the record and gave the crank a few turns

The word released a disembodied shriek that made him linge as a turntable twisted to life before falling into static. There was a pause, then, from the static came a woman's Francis Whisper, his stomach singed and his breath caught in his throat as the desperate hist of her voice crackled through The roof.

It was after Sun and John had every intention of calling it a night as he descended the staircase with disappointment.

then, as if someone had struck the ceiling with a hammer, a loud bang shocked him into falling down the remaining steps. Panicked and furious John picked himself up off the floor and slowly ascended once more. An Erie stillness fell, as he pulled himself up and over into the room again his flashlight panned across the attic. He was sure he was alone, but in the beam of his headlight he saw it a small sparkle of light in the dark cautiously. He moved forward and there on the floor, lay a massive diamond ring with his light aim down upon it. The gem splashed light across the room like shattered glass

in the elation of the discovery? It took him a moment more to register that the ring was worn on a pale severed finger even as chills trickled down his body John stood transfixed frozen in thought. How had it gotten here? How long had it sat there? Who did it belong to before his nerves could get the better of him he reached down and carefully picked up the finger using the sleeve of his shirt, even through the fabric, the finger felt soft disgusted.

The icebox sat with its back to the wall. Looking much like a big anti chest of drawers, upon closer inspection, John realise that the doors were made of metal and they were called to the touch for the first time. He noticed the fog of his breath clouding the air John tense. Does he reached for the latter

Part of him fear that there may be nothing to find that this.
