Estate Corridor

Chase Manor Corridor

The long corridor stretches from the library toward the house’s inner sanctums, its polished mahogany floor absorbing each footstep until it becomes a muffled susurrus rather than a step. Tall sash windows clad in yellowed glass line one wall, admitting thin wedges of moonlight that slice through layers of cobwebs and ivy fingers pressed to the cold stone outside. Wall sconces stutter between dim and wan, their flicker deepening the long shadows that coil around the doorframes lining the passage, each threshold a silent invitation to unseen horrors. Cold draughts leak through the ancient joinery, bearing the earthy scent of damp soil beneath the house and the acidic tang of Chase’s experimental waste seeping upward from the compost rooms below. The silence is not absolute: a floorboard creaks somewhere near the library, and from the distance of the east wing, metal scrapes against metal—Scorby’s boots judging the weight of his return.
