Today is day 8 of the page a day reading of my book.
The young residents of Oasis receive an invitation to a creepy deserted house, perched at the edge of the cliff, with a long staircase descending into the sand. In my mind, End House resembles the picture above.
Linda and her friends must decide whether to attend the party. Linda is scared and unsure of the original residents. She even mistrusts Todd, who she has a crush on.
Read on.
As Linda thought about Oasis and its creepy residents, her mind wandered back to Todd. He was the only one who had the enviable
position of belonging to both social groups. He was able to enjoy the company
of her close friends, while at the same time he was able to conduct business
with the elite of the community and attend their very private parties. He was
the one person in town who was able to cross the fine line between the
disparate social groups.
Todd had to be the key
that could help unlock all the hidden mysteries in town. She also feared that
he played a very important role in the town’s questionable politics and
history, along with the sheriff and the original residents.
Not only was Todd powerful
in town, he was also very
wealthy. His office building was by far the largest one on Main Street.
The green-tinted glass structure spanned a whole block adjacent to the beach’s
walkway. His investment company occupied all four floors, containing the
offices for his many employees. Linda believed that Todd’s company was much too
big for such a small town, and its ultra modern glass structure did not blend
well with the countrified look of the other stores along Main Street.
In contrast, right across
from Todd’s building was the picturesque town park. Its tree-lined paths
offered residents and its many visitors benches for daydreaming and for gazing
out at views of the sun-drenched beach and ocean, or at the park’s pièce de
résistance: the large and elaborately designed gazebo.
