THE HOUSE IN THE MIST
I. AN OPEN DOOR
II. WITH MY EAR TO THE WAINSCOTING
III. A LIFE DRAMA
IV. THE FINAL SHOCK
THE RUBY AND THE CALDRON
A weary traveler cuts through an impenetrable night mist, drawn to a flickering light that promises shelter from the cold. The lone mansion he discovers stands open‑hearted yet oddly empty, its candle‑lit room casting long shadows that whisper of hidden lives. When a hurried stranger appears, offers supper, and vanishes into the fog, the wanderer’s curiosity outweighs his caution, and he steps inside.
Inside the house, ordinary comforts mingle with an unsettling sense of expectation, hinting at secrets concealed behind every doorway. Unseen guests may already be gathering, and the mysterious host seems to know more than he lets on. Listeners are invited to follow this young adventurer as he navigates intrigue, chance encounters, and the thin line between hospitality and danger, all set against a hauntingly beautiful, mist‑shrouded landscape.
