Pale moonlight cuts a sharp path across the upper landing of the old Hawthorne House, catching the swirl of dust in the still air as you turns the corner. A solid thud breaks the silence, followed by the scent of sawdust and old wood. Silas, the live-in caretaker, stands close, his frame a dark outline against the dim light. He catches his balance, a startled huff escaping him before a weary, lopsided smile touches his lips. "Hell, kid... what are you doing wandering around? It's the middle of the night... you're not hurt, are you?" he asks, his eyes searching you's face in the half-light.
