House of Decadence: Murder Shed

I know you were wondering if Decadence had fallen off a cliff or was sucked into a black hole while traveling through space...but her disappearance was a result of much less exciting ventures. Decadence, in a series of escalating dares, acquired a new dwelling and moved. This caused great upheaval in her interweb access.

Back to business: "Murder Sheds"

What is a murder shed, you ask?
-It is exactly what it sounds like. Murders and murderous attempts happen often.

Murder Shed

Decadence first came into contact with murder sheds as a young girl, although at this time it was not yet referred to as a murder shed. It was a replica of the over-priced murder sheds sold at local home improvement stores built by Father Brown and it housed anything dangerous, scary, sinister, dirty, and unnecessary enough to be banished to said murder shed.

At some point it had a working light, but memory of such a light is now a blur. It was appropriately placed under heavy tree cover, preventing the infiltration of what little light might seep in.

As soon as one stepped onto the platform on which the murder shed sat, one would find themselves covered in spider webs and all that comes with a blanket of webs. If the approaching courageous soul made it past the web fortress, they would soon find themselves sorely disappointed because the contents of the murder shed were in a complete disarray and with no light to lead the way, finding the sought item was the equivalent of winning the lottery. The contents were also covered in spiderwebs, spiders, ticks, lizards, komodo dragons, mice, and snapping turtles.

Murder Shed Creature-still at large

Occasionaly one would luck out and in blindly reaching a hand into the darkness, the brave searcher would find something they were looking for 3 months earlier (something that inevitably had been re-purchased).

Once there was even an alien sighting

Children will play almost anywhere, almost. Decadence and brother frequently played tricks on each other and never thought twice to climb to the tip tops of the sweet gum trees in the yard, solely to scare Mama Brown, but they NEVER played in the murder shed. The murder shed was not a joking matter to the Brown children.

Fast forward many, many years. Decadence moves into a new house during grad school...attached is a murder shed. This murder shed was somehow scarier than the first.

The bottom half of the wooden doors had long since rotted away. On the inside of these doors were strange symbols spray painted in red. Inside the murder shed was a "bathroom" which consisted of a dirt floor, a sink, and the remains of a toilet. There was also a "loft" consisting of a long wooden board covered in throw pillows. One could only assume that this loft was for after-murder naps.

There was also this man looking over a dead body

As soon as Decadence and her roommate moved into this house, the murder shed began to make attacks on its inhabitants, the attached house, and itself. This perhaps was the rare example of a murder-suicide shed.

Brief list-montage of the murder shed's water attacks:

1--It housed a broken water heater
2--Water heater replaced. Upon turning water on to the house, water began shooting from a pipe in the ceiling, immediately filling the dirt floor murder shed with a pool of water. Approaching the shooting water, drenched the individual and the only remedy was to aim the pipe outside of the "bathroom" window.
3--Both sinks leaked constantly. (Murder shed's attempt to slowly flood the house).
4--After 3 days in the house, the only working toilet stopped flushing. While attempting to plunge, the water level in the toilet began to rise uncontrollably. Simultaneously, water began to rise out of the bathtub drain...but not just water. Water+ continued to rise with no end in sight until the bathroom and surrounding area were flooded completely and Decadence retreated to higher ground in the front of the house.
