There was this house at the end of the road.
It held so many secrets, People tell the tale of those who used to live there, apparently there was a murder, a man killed his wife and two kids, apparently it’s haunted, and no one wants to buy the haunted house at the end of the street.
I watch the kids playing inside, egging each other on to go upstairs and those standing taking photos to use for inspiration.
And I just stand there too embarrassed to admit that, I own the house, it’s just another project I never started…
Thanks as always for Rochelle, who organises Friday Fictioners, where we are given a picture prompt and have to come up with a story using 100 words.
This story is based, on two Euro Million winners and there DIY project,
A Story About A Girl 
Nice take. I have to say the real life story behind it angered me – what a terrible waste when they could afford to do something really nice with it.

it quite sad, I know they applied for planning permission to do something with it, but it got refused so…

You’ve used your imagination for this story, and that’s a good punchline to conclude it.

Has a “Grey Gardens” feel to it…

Well written. Sounds like some project I might get enthused about, if I could afford it, and run out of steam and end up feeling just like your narrator.😉

I liked the sentiment in the last line. So telling.
