THE DEAD GAME--DAY41

Chapter 8
      End House appeared through the mist: a massive daunting shadow silhouetted against the black sky. The house stood tall and imposing before its invited guests.
      That was how End House appeared to Linda. Her first glimpse of the foreboding house caused her body to shiver. The house resembled all the scary houses in her imagination…and in every gothic novel she’d ever read. But having to face it on this dreary and isolated hilltop…with the wind blowing…sharp branches slapping them across their shocked faces, made the encounter more real and much more horrifying.
      Tom, Edward, Mike, and David were already walking up the gravel path, while Gregg, Judy, and Ryan were waiting for them by the massive front door. It was a very quiet group that stood close together…staring up at the dark, menacing structure.
      The front of the house faced the mountain with its wraparound porch, wide stone steps, and thick white columns, while the rear had its large patio and built-in pool facing the crashing waves of the ocean. A tall black iron fence—its pointy spikes jutting upward to the sky—encircled the house and pool before following the stairs in its straight descent to the deserted beach below.
      Todd threw open the huge steel door and strode in first. Disappearing inside, Todd left them no choice but to trail along behind him.

THE DEAD GAME--DAY 40

     One house stood apart from the others and could only be reached from End House. It was the house of Charles Wolf, the famous modern artist. It was situated farther down the cliff, below Minnie and Frank’s home. Wolf’s house was comprised of three main sections, each section having its own green-glassed dome. The house was constructed from concrete and had all its windows blacked out. Todd had never seen the inside of the house and didn’t know if he ever wanted to. Wolf kept to himself and wore a dark scowl on his face whenever Todd happened to notice him in town.

     Todd and his fellow passengers didn’t drive past the homes in the middle section of the mountain, but instead followed the main road along the top of the mountain. After Hayden’s house, the main road took another sharp dip—right before their final destination. Finally we have reached End House and the end of our fateful journey.

THE DEAD GAME--DAY 38

     At the highest point on the mountain was Diane Rome’s circular house of green-tinted glass. As a world-famous sculptor, Diane created monumental sculptures in her home using a large range of materials that were delivered to her house. She was very sociable, and loved to travel the world for business and pleasure. She invited many of her friends and business acquaintances to the two large parties she hosted each year.

     The narrow road took a sudden dip downward before

the next house, before Hayden Hoyt’s dark house, reported to be filled to the brim with antiques. His passion for the old had first led him to collect antiquities and then later on to become a world-renowned art dealer. He never permitted potential buyers to visit his house, but sold through museums and other dealers. His house was almost hidden from sight by the thick foliage surrounding his property. To Todd, the house looked very bleak and foreboding, but he was still very curious to get a glimpse inside.
