Later that afternoon as Willie was overseeing the installation of the kithen appilances, he felt the hairs stand up on the back of his neck. What is it? Hr pondered. Someone's watching me! Willie's skin began to crawl with the sure knowledge of eyes following his every movement.
After the workmen left, Willie prowled through every room of the Old House, from attic to basement, searching for some sign of an intruder. Nothing, not one clue could he find of anyone or anything having been in the house, except for Barnabas and himself.
Shaking his head to try and clear his mind, Willie thought this isn't me anywhere. You've got too much work to do and not enough time to waste on this foolishness. Barnabas was so pleased with the modernazation, that he decided to have a dinner party to show the family. Willie planned a simple menu. Chicken Parmesan, pasta, a large salad and garlic bread. He would serve a rich red wine with dinner and a light white with dessert. Wille had decided to cheat a little on dessert by buying a cake from the new bakery in town. Willie wasn't a bad cook, but he didn't feel confident enough in his skill to handle a more complicated menu.
Everything, but the shopping had been taken care of. The silver polished, the table set, and the house cleaned to perfection. Grabbing the car keys, Willie started to leave the house, when he felt a cold chill and saw a gray shape out of the corner of his eye. Whirling around quickly he could see nothing but the immaculate kitchen.
