For Sale

In this darkly comedic tale, Jerry Langford, a down-on-his-luck salesman, finds himself at the end of his rope. Once a top performer, Jerry’s life has spiraled into chaos due to a series of bad decisions, shady deals, and a mounting pile of debt. His once-flourishing career has crumbled, leaving him desperate and clinging to the remnants of his former success.

Just when it seems like things can’t get any worse, Jerry’s boss gives him a final chance to redeem himself—a last-ditch effort to salvage his career. The job? Sell a notoriously haunted house that has been on the market for years with no takers. The house, an eerie Victorian mansion on the outskirts of town, is infamous for its dark history. Rumors of ghosts, strange occurrences, and unexplained disappearances have kept potential buyers far away. No one in the real estate office wants to touch it, but for Jerry, it’s a chance to prove he can still close a deal, no matter how difficult.

With no other options, Jerry reluctantly accepts the challenge. As he drives up to the mansion for the first time, he can’t shake the feeling of unease that settles over him. The house looms before him, its dilapidated facade and overgrown yard giving it a sinister presence. But Jerry, ever the salesman, is determined to make the best of the situation. After all, if he can sell this house, he might just save his career and get his life back on track.

However, as Jerry begins preparing the house for potential buyers, strange things start happening. Doors slam on their own, mysterious footsteps echo through the halls, and unsettling whispers fill the air. Jerry, who doesn’t believe in ghosts, initially brushes off these incidents as tricks of the mind or old house quirks. But as the occurrences become more frequent and more intense, he starts to question his own sanity.

In a bid to make the house more appealing, Jerry decides to play up its haunted reputation, marketing it as a “unique opportunity” for thrill-seekers and paranormal enthusiasts. Surprisingly, this strategy attracts a few interested parties, but each time a potential buyer tours the house, something terrifying happens, driving them away.

As the days go by, Jerry’s desperation grows. He begins to unravel, consumed by the house’s dark energy and his own failing grip on reality. The line between the real and the supernatural blurs, and Jerry finds himself haunted not only by the spirits in the house but also by his past mistakes and regrets. The mansion becomes a reflection of his own life—a once-grand structure now decaying and filled with ghosts.

In a final twist, Jerry realizes that the only way to escape the house’s grip is to confront the ghosts, both literal and figurative, that have been haunting him. In doing so, he faces a choice: continue down the path of deceit and despair or seek redemption by acknowledging his wrongs and making amends.

Ultimately, Jerry’s journey through the haunted house becomes a journey of self-discovery. The house, with all its horrors, forces him to confront the truth about himself and the life he’s led. Whether he escapes the haunted mansion or becomes another one of its ghosts depends on the choices he makes in the final moments of his last-ditch gig.
