The builders uncovered the shoes during the renovation. Hidden in the recesses of the basement behind a false wall, they did not know what to make of them. Worn and cobwebbed, the footwear looked to be a few decades old. Set aside, they were forgotten as the area was gutted for the new owners of the homestead. As the last wall was ripped down to make place for the new insulation, the owner of the footgear was found. The bones and leather-like skin covering was also dusty and cobwebbed. Renovations ceased. The ire of the clients knew no bounds.
Who do you think the bones belong to?

Dear Colline,
Lots of questions here. Nicely done.
Shalom,

Hmm. Who was the skeleton behind the wall? No idea, none at all 🙂 But the fact that the clients were irate makes on wonder. . .

I imagine them not wanting to be bothered with the investigation and the cessation of all renovations.

Nice story! I think the wife was cheating and the husband caught them. This is where he disposed of the guy, but the real question is, what did he do with his wife.

We certainly think alike Michelle as this was the type of scenario I had imagined 🙂
