Home Sweet Home
After months of living in a bug-infested apartment, you decide it’s finally time to get a new place. While you’re shopping for a new place to live, you drive past a beautiful Victorian house with a large lawn. A sign in the front says “FOR SALE,” so you decide to call the realtor out of curiosity. The price is so incredibly low that you have to buy it. It’s moving day, and once all your stuff is in and the movers have left, you notice a strange stain on the wall in the bedroom. You peel away the wallpaper to discover a giant hole in the wall, and inside, there’s a body. Who is this person, who killed them, and how are you going to get rid of the body?
