The Photograph Facing the Wall

Strange Door

# The Room Behind the Photograph

The first strange thing about the old house was not the locked room.

It was the photograph.

It sat on the mantel above the fireplace, covered in a thin layer of dust, facing slightly toward the wall as if someone had tried to hide it without making it obvious.

When Daniel moved into the house, he noticed it on his first evening.

The place had belonged to an elderly couple who had lived there for almost fifty years. After they both passed away, their nephew sold the property quickly. He told Daniel there was nothing unusual about it.
