The Haunting of Horne House - Page 03
Added 2022-10-06 16:35:26 +0000 UTCNight after night, Longinus found himself in the dusty old house long after midnight. The repairs were coming along, but the dust must still have been getting into his eyes because even with more light he still kept catching glimpses of... well, he wasn't sure exactly what.
Maybe it was a tricksy mouse or big spider, skittering away. Longinus didn't find such pests scary per se, but he wouldn't want one running up his pant leg! Just the last couple nights he kept imagining that something kept touching him, nothing like a crazed rodent running up his leg, but... gentle pressure... practically a caress... and they could occur anywhere. He had more than once felt a tickle on his more, ah, sensitive regions, only to discover himself semi-aroused before he realized it.
Longinus wasn't a superstitious guy by any stretch. But he certainly wasn't stupid. Something about the vibes of this place was far from ordinary. He wondered if that was why it had sat on the market so long? His heart raced at the thought he might find himself saddled with an unsellable lemon. Now THAT was too scary to consider! He decided to redouble his efforts. The house was almost to the point he could start sleeping here, giving him more time to work and rest... as long as no mice or spiders crawled into his sleeping bag with him!
