Stay Awake: The Mansion of Books

A mansion of books, An orphan girl, A room that hides a mystery.

Selma and Ron Bolton had recently married in an old chapel in Shartlesville, Pennsylvania. The few people who accompanied them were randomly invited and were actually strangers to them. A ceremony that was not necessary and for the Bolton couple was just a formality.

-Finally we did it Ron!- Selma said to her now husband. -Till death do us part!- Replied Ron as he took her by the waist to bring his body closer to hers and kissed her as if it were the first time.

The Bolton couple was already troubled by the consumption of intoxicating drinks and all kinds of drugs; long before a celebration that was not planned to take place. At that moment, no one could have imagined what these two newlyweds would carry out years later, in the town where they swore to love each other and form a family.

The behavior of human beings is full of surprises and in many cases their emotional health leads them to lose their sanity, to the point of doing things so unimaginable to their peers that they would seem to be the work of the devil himself.
