The House Was So Cheap I Thought I Won the Lottery, but When I Saw the Basement, I Understood Everything — Story of the Day
Twenty minutes felt like an eternity before the flashing red and blue lights finally appeared outside.
A single officer stepped out, his posture relaxed, his face unimpressed. "So, what’s going on here?" he asked, tilting his head toward me.
"There’s someone in the basement," I said, trying to steady my voice. "I heard laughing."
He arched an eyebrow. "Laughing, huh?" With a sigh, he fetched a crowbar from his car and approached the door.
The sound of the lock snapping open echoed in the quiet house. I held my breath as he disappeared down the stairs, his flashlight casting strange, flickering shadows.
Minutes later, he reappeared, shaking his head.
"Just cobwebs and dust," he said, his tone dripping with skepticism. "Nothing down there."
"But I heard it!" I protested, heat rising to my face.
