(insert title here)

There is a mysterious house, hidden from the new world. There is a maze to find it, comfortably tucked in the trees. There is a forest, with trails to find the house. The trees are too thick to see through, and there is an open space infront of the house, creating the yard. The house is completely covered in dead, climbing vines, grown from the ground all the way to the roof. The windows are all smashed and broken with sharp pieces of old glass jabbing out. The walls weak from years of Saskatchewan weather. The wore-out wooden door ajar, the house has shifted so much that the door has no purpose anymore. The house if caving, it is old, no one really knows how old. The belongings are still in the house, as if the people left and took nothing, or maybe never left...

Children's dusty toys, fallen apart furniture and even a pair of shoes lay abandoned in the house. Even what used to be the yard is littered with the belongings of the house owners. There is a small old car, and the surrounding fields are covered in broken dishes and small items thrown from the house. A massive hole formed in the middle of the floor after years of disintegrating with no one to take care of it. The walls on the inside of the house are covered with newspaper, most pages to old, brittle and dirty to read. Although some have been read, the oldest one dated 1914.

The story is that the owners of the house built it around 1914. They lived in the house peacefully for about four years. Then strange things began to happen. The owners of the house had two children, one day the youngest child went missing. The family searched for days, but there was really no use, they lived in the middle of the country, with a forest around them. Anything could have gotten the child, he was not old enough to defend himself against animals that may have been in the area. At the time the people that lived in the house believed that the only answer was that an animal had gotten him. This was not true, and not what happened. There was something else, a human perhaps, or maybe a creature of another kind.

The child appeared again 10 days later. This was not a good thing, the child did not survive. He was brutally killed, in a way not imaginable to the people of time. He had wholes through his body, and other brutalities that were unexplainable. The family was flabbergasted. Devastated and extremely upset the family buried the child. They all decided that it would be best to pack up and leave first thing in the morning. That would not happen, the mysterious creature returned that night and in their sleep the family disappeared.
