A trap
The doorbell emitted a loud, annoying sound. Had the family been present, they would have undoubtedly heard it. Ravaux was ready to enter the apartment with his spare key at that moment. He thought the doorbell was just a distraction. In the end, he opened the door to his room. He entered cautiously, hoping that in the worst case scenario, the room would be empty. However, what he found upon entering took his breath away. He had no idea how to act.
The empty apartment
Despite knowing that the family was no longer in the apartment, I could not ignore the traces they had left behind. The apartment looked messy as if a hurricane had occurred. The apartment seemed to be littered with trash in every nook and cranny. Dirty dishes, children’s toys and garbage bags were everywhere. Worst of all was the horrible smell of food and waste.
