A Look Around
Surveying the house from all angles, Jim and Iris scrutinized its exterior. The garden appeared wild and unkempt, while patches of peeling paint hinted at a lack of recent maintenance. The mailbox, overflowing with uncollected mail, and toppled potted plants with their contents spilled added to the neglect evident on the property. This state of disrepair strongly suggested an extended absence of residents, further shrouding Max’s connection to this place in an air of mystery. The deteriorating facade painted a compelling picture of a home left untouched and unattended for a significant period.
