Into the Stranger's House
As our friends approach the house, they hear more creaking noises from
inside. The weird screech is heard again. The wisp of smoke that went
down the chimney shoots up out again with a whoosh. The smoke
twists into a spiral above the house, straightens, darts away and
disappears over a low hill.
'What's going on,' Stobey demands, looking at Chug-a-lug.
'I don't know, Stobey,' Chug replies.
'Well,' Slutter says, 'we're here and we may as well check this place out.
I think we should go ahead.' He turns to Suzanne and Roger. 'What do
you think?' he asks.
Suzanne shrugs. Roger nods.
'OK with us,' Suzanne says, 'we're game. Let's go, as long as we get
back to our spaceship in time.'
Stobey opens the door leading into the house, pokes her head in and
looks about. She sees a large room with lots of heavy furniture scattered
about. The furniture is covered with white sheets, and the floor and
corners of the room are filled with space dust.
Chug leans in over Stobey and his head swivels in all directions,
examining the dusty room.
