[ ooc: dun dun dunnnn! / wc: 318 / +3 ]
Seeing enough of the living room, she decided to go the other way, where Shawchert was. She opened the door to one of the rooms and saw that it seemed like some sort of water room; at least, that was what was all over the floor. There was a rounded seat as well that was filled with water; it smelled bad, however, so she shut the door and moved on.
Around the corner was where Shawchert was. She turned the corner and gasped. This was the bedroom; there was a small table to the side of the bed with a broken lamp on it, and there was a window with a flowerbox outside to the left of the room. But that wasn't what made her gasp. What made her gasp was the long, white thing lying on the bed, its appendages splayed out as if it were lying, sick, at its deathbed.
A human skeleton.
Without meaning to, Skye shrieked, and took a step backwards. Of course someone had to have lived in this house before she claimed it as her own; but it was still a gruesome sight that she didn't really want to see. She averted her eyes to the floor on the right beside the bed and something new caught her eye. It was a small, dusty book; it seemed dirty and grimy, but it was also intact. Careful to avoid the skeleton, she picked it up and quickly backed away again. She didn't want to touch the skeleton.
Looking at the cover, she found it was caked in dust and grime. With her hand, she wiped away most of it and saw that there was a title engraved on the front. It read:
Journal
Almost afraid to open it and read this poor man's dying words, she turned to Shaw. "I guess...humans really did live here," she said weakly.
