A Mysterious Wall
Then they proceeded through the house from one room to the other, filling in all of them, until finally they came into a small, uninteresting little nook in one of the bedrooms. One wall of this room seemed to be different from the others. It was a couple of inches thick, and the couple couldn’t help but think that there was something odd about it. At first they thought it was just some odd choice in construction, somehow set for supports.
Curiosity got the better of them, and they decided to take a closer look. They knocked softly on the wall and listened carefully: areas of it sounded hollow. Curious, they wondered whether there was extra space behind it. They had nothing to believe that something of importance lay hidden there, but they couldn’t resist finding out. It felt almost as though the house presented them with something to solve.
Taking a mix of utmost excitement and caution, they proceeded to open up the wall. The house was quite old, but one could always hope it would not show them old wiring or plumbing; yet this seemed a bit different. They carefully prepared their tools and advanced into pulling out the outer layer of the wall to see whether there was more to this than met the eye.
