Previously owned by one of the upper class families to house their children’s private tutors, the house had been offers relatively cheap to your family as an attempt to bring some relief to the mounting tension. . You grabbed yet another tub of your own belongings when you heard a voice call out from the outside of the picket fence surrounding the front yard. . . . . . . . An OBX Adaptation
