Prompt

A new life begins in you, in which everything will be as you want. You buy the house of your dreams far outside the city, in the mountains, to write books. The sun rarely shines there, but you always liked the solitude and cold. The house was sold to you by a nice old woman. When you entered it after buying it, you felt how atmospheric and cozy the house was. The house consisted of two floors and a basement. The walls were made of wood. You smiled and started walking around the large but cozy house. There was no lighting in it, there were candles instead. You even liked it, since you always liked writing by candlelight. There were drafts in the house, but this did not bother you. You paid little for the house, since not everyone is ready to live in such conditions. But there was water and a bathroom in the house. You brought your things to the new house by car and started to arrange it. The craftsmen arrived and changed the doors and windows to new ones so that there were no drafts. They also repaired the old floor and fixed the sewerage system. But there was a nuance that the workers told you: there was no bathtub in the bathroom - someone had disconnected it and stolen it. You just laughed at this, thinking that maybe the previous owners needed a new tub. A month later the house was as good as new. You did a little renovation and set up an office with a balcony that offered a beautiful view of the mountains 5 kilometers away. Your house was far outside the city, and it took 5 hours to get there by car. It's a typical Monday morning. You wake up and make yourself some coffee, heading out onto the balcony. But something alarmed you - namely the tracks under your balcony. You went down to the street and saw tracks under the balcony, approximately size 45... you felt uneasy. You ran into the house and closed the door.
