The House That Jack Built Novels & Stories

“HOW, the Adyatama team is ready?” Tiger Adytama chuckled when he saw his grandchildren who just got married yesterday arrived at the house that Jake had built several years ago. Back when Jake built the house, he didn't know what his grandson was planning. He had thought that the house was built for Jake and Clarisa to live in after they got married. However, the estimate was wrong. Jake built the house for whoever would become his wife. He never even told Clarisa about the mansion he had built a long time ago.

Paul said again and I tried crawling towards the stairs. I had a good memory so if I just crawled straight ahead I would be heading up the stairs and that was what I needed to do,he could say all the garbage he wanted to go upstairs. "They meant nothing to me, it was just a game and none of your family members were killed except for the old lady". Paul said as I heard the floor crack,he was coming towards me. He didn't know how to be quiet,this old house was really not the best place to hide.

It wasn’t any of their business, but as far as they knew, his father was an insurance salesman in Bozeman, and unless he was taking money under the table, there was really no reason for him to have such a nice house. People from town didn’t come out here, so it wasn’t a big deal, and everyone who lived in the village knew the truth. Most of them had pretty nice houses, too. Jack’s mother preferred Victorian-style homes, so their house stuck out a bit from the others, which were mostly large cabins. The houses were fairly spread out from one another, too, so even though it was a village, you couldn’t see all of the houses from any one road.

Jack sat back on the bar stool. His eyes were big. He ran his hands through his brown hair. Did he hear Mr. Gibson correctly? He was Henry Kingsley? No! He was Jack. He's always been Jack. This was impossible! Mr. Gibson must be wrong. He must have him confused with someone else. "Mr. Gibson, I'm sorry, but you must be mistaken. My name is Jack. I grew up at Old George Orphanage. I'm no Kingsley descendant, I'm sure of it."

“You have a rat in your house. I want him out,” “What you talking about?” “Its simple, I pay you a couple of notes. Catch him for me,” John removed the watt of money and throws it in the dirt. He watched one step closer. “I think the rats in the ceiling,” John showed where he might be. Jack found himself on the roof of the building. He was moving carefully as there were many holes. One wrong step and he could fall through. He noticed the men searching. Just standing out of sight he noticed his father talking with some street kids. Making his way towards the entrance of the building he took a giant leap when he noticed the frightened eyes of his brother looking straight into his eyes.

Without a second thought, Jack jumped out of his bedroom window and onto the giant beanstalk. Great, leafy vines snaked around like ladders—making it ever so easy for Jack to scale the skyscraping stalk. He began to climb. Higher. And higher. And higher. Not stopping for a moment to look down. This is probably just as well for Jack was now so high up that his cottage, the village and all of the surrounding lands could be seen no more. Suddenly, came a shrill voice. “Jack, is that you?” it said. “Yes,” said Jack.

Then on second thought, Rhys also took care of his pack yet he betrayed me with my sister. We kept walking on the street, each house stationed on the right and left looked good and there was an atmosphere that came from each house. It just showed that the pack was a happy one. We had walked a good distance when Jack dropped in front of a larger house. It was four buildings tall, quite larger than a family-sized home. It made me wonder who owned the place. Before I could elaborate on my question, some children ran out of the house. They ranged from the age of five to twelve. I couldn't quite figure out their ages but they looked very young.

The horse moved slower, my eyes fixed on the house. The house stood all alone, surrounded by a sea of emptiness. It looked forgotten, its walls leaning slightly as though tired from standing for so many years. The front door hung ajar on rusted hinges, creaking softly in the breeze. A path leading up to it was overrun with weeds, almost disappearing into the ground, giving the impression that no one had walked it in decades. “Here we are,” I snapped out of my daze when I heard Jack. He got down from the horse, pulled the rein and tied it around a tree near the house.

I said as we hugged and he slapped me on the back. “I like the new place, bro,” Jack said with a smile as we walked up to the porch and the two dogs started barking as we stepped inside the kitchen. “Quiet,” I said and they stopped barking immediately. Jack followed me through to the living room and surveyed the damage. There were about five bullet holes in the wall behind me and the furniture had been moved. “Somebody didn’t put up a fight,” he said as he surveyed the lack of disarray. We went outside to the porch as Jack whistled loudly and two men walked up to the house. Jack took them inside and came back to sit down next to me as his men carried the dead bodies toward the barn. Neither
