Shadows Of Guta (Excerpt 67) Face To Face

Stephen walks through the room to take a closer look and he realizes Zsofia must tend to this area as well for it is practically spotless. As he approaches the massive framed art, he is surprised at how huge the painting truly is. It has to be one of the largest he has ever seen and the faces have such detail that he would almost swear it is a photograph. He stands there inspecting the item for several minutes as he tries to read the small note written in black paint in the lower right hand corner.

“Well, I have no idea what that says and this isn’t getting the lights turned on.” Stephen says in a whisper as he gives up trying to decipher the words.

Something falls in the hall creating a loud cracking sound and this startles him. Quickly, he walks over to the open door and peeks out, to his right, into the dim hall. With the door standing open, he begins to look around it, to his left, when he comes face to face with Zsofia.
