.the abandoned mansion

What was once a lovely, white-marbled palace of happiness or excess pleasantries, is, sadly, now nothing more but ruins. However, as is common with abandoned and decrepit joints in stories, it is said to be 'haunted' by the locals. And by haunted, they mean the massive sprawling garden is kept in the best shape. Actually, "graden" is probably the wrong word. "Maze" suits the place better, as the tall bushes tower easily over most folks and twist and turn in every direction! One is easily lost within, and as rumors tend to be interpreted, all who enter never return. The same can be said for the inside of the mansion, and more rumors are abound as to what rests within, though no one can really say.
