A visit
Determined to uncover the truth, Mary drove to the last known address of Bruno’s former owners. As she approached the house, she couldn’t help but notice the meticulously trimmed lawn and flawless flower beds—an image of perfection that felt strangely at odds with the mystery at hand. She stepped up to the door and knocked firmly. Silence. Frowning, she knocked again, this time more forcefully. Still no answer. A sense of unease began to creep in, quickening her pulse. Something was undeniably wrong. Mary knew she couldn’t leave without finding the answers she was searching for.
A Visit
Empty house
The house looked well-kept, yet no one answered the door despite several firm knocks. With no other options, Mary leaned toward a side window and glanced inside, but the interior was still and lifeless. The emptiness only deepened the mystery. She scribbled a few notes and left a card behind, hoping someone might return. Resolute in her search for answers, she decided to speak with the neighbors before leaving the area.
