Opening sample
First pass from the workshop. Not the ending.
The basement door creaked open, and the air was thick with the musty scent of waterlogged wood. You hesitated, the weight of the moment pressing down. The flood had come in the night, and now you were faced with the daunting task of assessing the damage. But before you could fully grasp the scale, a warning rang in your mind: safety first. You took a deep breath, the air heavy and damp, and began to methodically approach the situation. The first step was to ensure your own safety. You turned off the main breaker at the electrical panel, a small gesture that could prevent a catastrophic mistake.
