As she walked through the field, she approached the small house cautiously. There were stories about this little house. According to the locals it was haunted or infested by demons. Either way she wanted to find out.
She pushed her body through the small doorway. There was nothing inside except for a lot of dust, broken boards and a few shards of broken furniture. A glint of something metallic caught her eye. Bending down she moved away some broken boards to reveal a small handle. The metal was polished as if it was frequently used, strange as the dust around the door didn't seem to be disturbed.
She had come this far, she wasn't about to get scared now. She pulled the handle opening a small trap door in the floor. After a few tugs it gave way. The opening was dark, but she could see that there was a ladder. It looked serviceable, so she climbed down. It didn't take long. These old houses didn't dig deep basements, they were mostly used for storing vegetables over the winter.
Some light broke through the floorboards above which only served to make the space more eerie. Still, it took a minute for her eyes to adjust to the darkness. The basement was empty except for a small stool that sat in the corner.
"Nothing here." She thought. "Just ghost stories."
She made her way back up the ladder to the room above. Standing in the main room she knew something was different. She could feel it. Then she saw it. Scribbled in the dust on the floor was a message.
"Thank you for freeing me. It is your turn, until another does the same."
