The Mysterious Key
One foggy evening, in the heart of a quaint village, young Sarah stumbled upon an old, decrepit house. Its windows were shattered, and the door creaked ominously in the wind. Despite feeling a shiver down her spine, Sarah summoned her courage and ventured inside.
The interior was dimly lit by the pale moonlight streaming through the broken windows. Cobwebs clung to the ceiling, and dust coated every surface. As Sarah explored further, she noticed a glimmer in the corner. Intrigued, she approached cautiously.
There, resting on a dusty shelf, was a tarnished key. Its intricate design hinted at a rich history, but its purpose remained a mystery. Sarah’s curiosity piqued as she reached out to touch it. Suddenly, a voice echoed through the silence.
“Who dares disturb my slumber?” it boomed.
