Dirty Daddies Underground
It’s coming from somewhere else, and that’s when I stop, every muscle in my body going still.
The bell rings again and I head up the stairs, pulse tapping beneath my skin like it knows something I don’t yet. The hallway is quiet, sunlight still spilling through the window at the end, warm and golden. But the sound draws me left, not right. Past the guest room. Past the office.
The dungeon.
I pause with my hand on the doorknob. The air feels different here.
The bell rings again, this time barely more than a whisper through the door.
