Dog Won't Stop Barking After Family Moves to New Home

Breaking Into the Hatch

On the shelf in the basement, James spotted a crowbar. If they couldn’t unlock the hatch in the kitchen, maybe he could force it open. After grabbing the tool, he returned to the kitchen and found just enough leverage to break the latch. With a loud crack, the hatch gave way, and the two descended another set of creaky stairs. The space below looked like it had been used for storage, just like the basement

Old jars filled with mysterious contents lined the shelves, alongside dusty, weathered cans that looked like they hadn’t been touched in decades. Mandy’s eyes caught a box sitting on one of the shelves. She quickly grabbed it, her curiosity piqued. What could be inside? As she lifted the lid, the faint smell of aged wood and forgotten memories filled the air. Could this be the clue they’d been searching for?
