My heart pounded in my chest, curiosity and fear warring within me. I glanced around, half expecting to see someone, but I was alone. The passage beckoned, its shadows hiding secrets I felt compelled to uncover.
With a deep breath, I stepped into the corridor, my hand instinctively reaching for my cell phone to use its flashlight. The passage was narrow and filled with the musty smell of hidden places. My footsteps seemed loud in the silence, echoing off the stone walls.
As I crept farther along, a muffled voice reached my ears. I froze, straining to listen. It was the magician’s voice, angry and tense. I couldn’t make out the words, but the emotion was clear.
My heart thumped loudly in my ears as I moved closer, drawn by the drama unfolding. Maybe I was a bit nosy, and I wouldn’t enter. I’d just stand back and listen.
The magician’s voice grew louder, and then another voice joined in, equally furious. Their words were still muffled, but the anger was palpable.
Then, suddenly, a bang. A loud, unmistakable sound that sent a chill down my spine.
I broke into a run, fear and urgency driving me toward the noise. The corridor twisted and turned and then abruptly opened up into the room where the magic show was to be held.
And there he was.
The magician, lying lifeless on the floor, a pool of blood spreading around him, a gunshot wound visible. The old-time gun Eleanor had slung around her hip was on the floor next to him.
I gasped, my hand flying to my mouth, my eyes wide with shock and disbelief.
The room spun around me as I took in the scene, the props and decorations now a backdrop to a real-life tragedy.
The silence was deafening, the reality of what had just happened settling over me like a heavy cloak. The magician, who had promised enchantment and wonder, was gone. A life snuffed out in an instant.
I fumbled for my phone, my hands trembling as I dialed for help, my mind reeling with questions and fear.
Who had done this? Why? And what had I stumbled upon?
The magic of Hollow Manor had turned into a nightmare, and I was caught in the middle of it, my heart pounding, my breath caught in my throat.
“Oh my gosh!” Eleanor had ripped open the door. She stood there with her jaw dropped and eyes on the magician before they swept up and looked at me. “Roxy, what did you do?”
☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️
Whew! Chills, right? This scene is just the tip of the iceberg, and Roxanne Bloom’s latest adventure promises to be a roller-coaster of emotions.

TEvery year over Labor Day weekend at a small airport on Cincinnati, not to far from our home, they hold a festival called Airport Days.
It’s a pretty neat little festival featuring old World War airplanes. We live in the middle of the woods across from there so we get a lot of private plane air traffic over our house. One this particular weekend we have the ability of watching some of these old war planes take off and fly pretty low.
They really are something to see and hear. My entire house vibrates as they go over. One jet in particular. It’s called the DOC. Check out my video of it going over our house.
There is ONE seat at the very tip of the nose on this plane that you can pay $1500 for the ride! There are a few other seats on this plane you can pay to ride too and they start out at $600. They were all sold out. Eddy thought it would be really cool to take a ride. Me not so much.
Still, it’s a really fun festival to go to and if you want to you, you can check out the War Birds here.
