1 Chapter 1 - This New Old House

The previous owner papered EVERY wall and CEILING! Removing it is brutal, but oddly satisfying. 

The best feeling is getting a long peel, similar to your skin when you're peeling from a sunburn. I don't know about you but I kinda make a game of peeling, on the hunt for the longest piece before it rips.Under a corner section of paper in every room is a person's name and a date. 

Curiosity got the best of me one night when I Googled one of the names and discovered the person was actually a missing person, the missing date matching the date under the wallpaper! The next day, I made a list of all the names and dates. Sure enough each name was for a missing person with dates to match. We notified the police who naturally sent out the crime scene team.

I overhead one tech say "yup, it's human." Human? What's human?" Ma'am, where is the material you removed from the walls already?

 This isn't wallpaper you were removing."
