My dear friend,I hope this letter finds you well. As I disclosed to you in my previous communication, the journey to Forgotten Hollow has been an exhausting ordeal involving: first two months of seasickness, and then many days of jolting about in the back of a donkey cart. But I have at last arrived safely, and to my great relief I have found lodging. Henceforth, please send all my mail to Number 4 Forgotten Hollow, in care of Mr. Victor Rebuschatis, as I have taken a room in his home as a boarder.https://i.postimg.cc/SNyBr4PK/BB29-S-01.jpgSpoiler (Highlight to read)In the village at the foot of the mountains, I was warned about this old manor.

@Aljay Thank you! I think this is one of my favorites so far that I've done for this challenge.

I worry about how Milton's adventures in Forgotten Hollow will turn out, but the build is great and fits right into the neighborhood. The way you used the Paranormal Pack works really well here too.

Hi @haneul Thanks for stopping by and checking it out! I had a lot of fun building this house. And Milton does seem to be either oblivious, or else not telling the whole truth in his letter... "Everything's fine. Don't worry about me!".

I'm continuing to play with Milton and Mr. R, and I think I feel a story shaping up. So, maybe I'll continue writing it.
