1st episode
.. September 1, 1972.
Shane Ryan has never seen such a big house before. But now what you see in front of your eyes is a castle with two towers at the two ends of the sky. The windows are narrow. Turning around, Shane counted that there were six chimneys in the castle. Two huge willow trees on either side of the huge entrance door. The stalks are full of leaves. Solid thick stone walls, raised high, as if guarding a huge castle. A long wall just like his father.
"... like home, baby?" Shane's father asked as he parked the car on the long driveway in front.
"... was it a palace tasad before?" Shane asked with amazement.
Both her mother and father laughed at Shane's words. Then his father said, "No, honey, this is not a palace, but it is built like a palace. This is Anderson Castle. In fact, the previous owners were very rich. From the outside, the house is like a castle, but inside it is like a normal house."
"Oooh!" Shen looked a little disappointed, then said, "There's no secret passage or something like that?"
"..Who knows! Who can say that?" This time Shen's mother said from the side.
"... maybe," said Shane's father, a little louder, looking at the house through the rear view mirror, and Shane's father said, "Who can tell?"
"... come on ..." said Shane's mother, "let's go inside first.
Shane's father turned off the Cadillac engine. Little Shane waited until his mother opened the back door to get off.
It's September. The weather is still quite warm and the feeling of warmth is well felt. Shane got out of the car and saw all the grass on the lawn trimmed nicely. Seems to have just been trimmed. The windows of the castle are also glittering. The sun is shining on the gray stone walls.
"... how big is the lawn?" Shane asked again, aiming at his father.
"..Ummmm ..." Shen's father said, thinking deeply while chin chuckling, "The lawn in front of our former house must be eight times bigger."
"... Wow!" There was a look of surprise on Shane's face. He is still staring at the whole castle and the adjoining lawn.
"... I heard there's a garden on one side of the lawn," said Shane's mother, "or there's a pond behind it."
"... pond!" Shen's eyes lit up with excitement.
"... Yes", his father said with a smile, "There are many ... many fish in that pond! We will go to the edge of that pond every day and catch fish!"
Shane almost jumped for joy and excitement. The parents are also happy to see the joy of the child. This time everyone started walking towards the front gate of Anderson Castle. The key to the house was with Shen's father, and as soon as the front door was unlocked, the huge palladuto opened on both sides.
Really! This is like a huge historical palace! What a steep staircase inside. Gradually rising from the bottom to the top, lost behind a veil of darkness. Some parts of the old furniture are visible in the sunlight coming through the windows. The hallway is quite long and the furniture is neatly arranged on one side of it. A huge grandfather clock is hanging on the wall just above his head where Shane is standing. The old-fashioned huge heavy hour announced the watch with heavy serious sound for hours.
Shane was walking down the hallway. As he approached the turn number two, a whisper came to his ears. Shane's legs stopped moving as he walked.
Thin ears well.
The word whisper is still going on. Where is this word coming from! Parents have moved forward a lot! They do not seem to be someone's throat! But who is talking in such a hushed voice! Where are you from!
It was as if someone were whispering in a hushed voice from inside the hallway walls
