During the daytime, Lou is not afraid of her house. She plays in her bedroom and in the hall. . .

Very rarely in the living room.

Never on the stairs.

And especially not in the basement . . .

Oh no, not there!

One night, Lou was woken by a loud noise.

What caused the noise? Where did it come from?

Then a voice spoke to Lou. Softly. Calmly. It seemed to come . . .

From the stairs?

Or maybe . . .

From the basement?

Guided by this kind — but sometimes annoying – voice, Lou left her bedroom and began to explore her pitch-black house.

She heard ominous sounds, pipes that hiccupped, floors and stairs that creaked . . . The furniture began to move right before her eyes, turning into beasts that had to be tamed.

Lou opened doors that were closed, clutching their knobs as they moved . . .

After making her way through the house she no longer recognized, she found herself in front of that door . . . .

The one that was always locked and opened onto . . . the basement.

Lou, who was just 7 years old , hesitated . . .

She stretched her neck for a better view.

She began to breathe faster.

A long shiver ran down her spine.

Lou was torn between fear and curiosity. Would she go down the stairs?
