Sifting through those dusty well preserved items may possess Cindy with a better idea on how to earn some money, an idea sure to please those both in front of and behind the cameras.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.smashwords.com\/books\/view\/751839\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Find it on Smashwords now!<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0765WTCX8\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Now on Amazon!<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Cindy has been looking forward to this day all her life, even if she never thought about how chilly the day might start out. Naturally October might not be the best to wear jeans and skimpy tank top but today is the day Cindy will start her path to fame&#8230; but may just end up on the road to infamy.<\/p>\n<p>Always fascinated by those reality television programs where the buyers of unclaimed storage lockers are made instant celebrities by becoming rich or losing it all, Cindy has gathered her life savings and come down to a local storage facility that will be filming for a new local access version of the more well known series.<\/p>\n<p>It was intentional to dress the part, since she just knows the camera is drawn to a gorgeous young woman eager to bounce happily as she bids on lockers. She doesn&#8217;t even mind the leering pair of storage locker employees who take her name and information for the programming release.<\/p>\n<p>Cindy has always played up her looks, and she figures if she makes money off whatever a locker contains, great, but if she makes money and is instantly famous as a repeat bidder, then she is set for life.<\/p>\n<p>But Cindy isn&#8217;t just about looking pretty for the camera, she&#8217;s also quite shrewd, asking one of the two employees if they might know a special locker to focus her efforts on, maybe some dirt that can&#8217;t be detected simply by looking in the open locker when they cut the lock off.<\/p>\n<p>Ned and Henry seem like decent guys, if a little overly attentive, and it&#8217;s Ned who tells Cindy that the third of three lockers to be featured there today is probably the one to wait for.<\/p>\n<p>According to Ned, who seems nervous, the contents are from a very old building downtown, lots of unique stuff, but he warns that there might be some stories behind the stuff inside&#8230; scary stories.<\/p>\n<p>Cindy&#8217;s all game, never one to let scary stories do more than entertain her, but she could never have imagined that when the third locker comes up for bid, it contains items from the famed Cutters Mill.<\/p>\n<p>Cutters Mill is something anyone who grew up nearby heard tales of, whether seedy stories or urban legends. It wasn&#8217;t in fact a mill at all&#8230; but a famous brothel. According to jokingly shared legends, it&#8217;s the place where men used to get wood in their small town.<\/p>\n<p>As Cindy once heard, the place had women who&#8217;d do anything for a buck and back in high school she definitely heard the joke many a local girl heard when they looked as nice as Cindy, that she should apply for an after school job there.<\/p>\n<p>Of course the actual Cutters Mill closed more than fifty years ago, and this locker unit contains dusty but incredibly well preserved items from one of the bedroom suites there.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s definitely the locker to win to double her stardom today, and so a bidding war is on, cameras mostly on Cindy simply because she&#8217;s been flirty all day.<\/p>\n<p>However, is winning the locker really winning when it comes with something unseen and sinister? It&#8217;s more than mere stories as Cindy, Ned and Henry from the locker facility, and one of the remaining camera men sift through the items as the sun begins to set.<\/p>\n<p>As Ned explains, the stories go that Cutters Mill was haunted, and back thirty years ago when a fire destroyed the place, certain rooms were immaculately untouched, reportedly because items in those rooms held the spirits desperate to escape the fire.<\/p>\n<p>The incredible bed, mattress still in great shape, large armoire, antique furnishings, and even period piece corsets and clothing, are all amazing things to bid on and win, but as the dust begins to kick up, maybe it&#8217;s the stories finally getting to Cindy&#8230; or perhaps it&#8217;s something a bit more.<\/p>\n<p>Will Cindy make a profit off her television debut in the storage locker buying business&#8230; or will Cindy be making an all new regular profit as a lady of the night?<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s definitely more to fear than a camera adding ten pounds this Halloween as Cindy discovers the hauntingly secret lives of Storage Whores.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.smashwords.com\/books\/view\/751839\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Find it on Smashwords now!<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0765WTCX8\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Now on Amazon!<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Coming next..
