Professor Seward had a distant look as she observed the remains of this Georgian-style mansion. And barely anything remained as it seemed to have been burned down, leaving the skeleton of whatever it once was.
"Here it is." She smiled sadly. "Our old house down in Virginia."
Harker frowned. "This house is yours? What happened to it?"
"Oh, well. Mom forgot the stove, and a house fire happened. The usual." Professor Seward proceeded to walk inside the premises, her fingers touching the damaged brick walls.
Harker expected something more put-together, something that could be the new headquarters of a mad scientist and her associates to conduct experiments. But this…..
Harker noticed one of the stones that seemed to be a marking for the area. He picked it up, and engraved in them were four numbers.
'1754'.
