Chapter 45: Garden 2

“Ugh,” Jay’s nose twinged from a disgusting smell.

A thicker layer of slime filled the room, which had built up a pungent smell in the darkness.

Entering the room, a few broken chairs and a flipped table greeted him. They had torn some of the chair legs off, probably used as weapons.

A window sill hosted a potted plant with a yellow flower - though it was wilting already since the curtains had been closed. A cabinet in the room's corner was half-opened. Inside were some jars filled with different colored jams, waiting to be eaten. An axe was lying behind the flipped table, slightly covered in a mixture of black and red goo from whatever monster it hacked away at. Next to it, a hammer too - though it was still clean, as if it never hit the enemy.

No monsters were present.

Jay squinted at the axe, wondering what attacked. The axe wielder had clearly been unsuccessful as there was no monster corpse around.
