Isabella’s gaze wandered across the familiar space, noting the way the light caught on the edges of furniture, the faint shimmer of dust motes dancing in the beams.

The scene had been very spooky, the hair on her fair skin stood up when the cold wind of midnight swooshed by. The silence of the place which came after that mind-boggling scene was so eerie and heart-stopping too. She knew this was exactly the moment when most people would just be compelled to run back inside the store or faint on the stone pavement.
