Chapter 9 Also by Finn Foltz  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nI DROPPED MY DUFFEL bag in the empty, cavernous foyer—the sound echoing through the ridiculously large house as I surveyed my domain.  \nLight streamed through the floor to ceiling windows and it was hot. I remembered it being hot when I was a kid, but not like this. There was also a musty smell. No one had lived in the place for at least two years, I was pretty sure that was when Dad and Sandra moved to Miami, but since we hadn’t stayed in touch, I couldn’t say for sure.  \nI flipped a switch and the overhead light buzzed on. There was a thermostat somewhere, I just couldn’t remember the exact location. Memories hit me like a ten ton truck as I walked through the hallway and towards the living area, my footsteps the only sound as I finally located the thermostat and pried open the cover. It was stuck with old tape or glue and a bead of perspiration trickled down my forehead as I tapped the hazy LED screen, then flipped the small switch.  \nNothing.  \nDammit.  \nI’d have to figure out what worked and what didn’t and even then, I couldn’t imagine actually staying here longer than it took to get back on my feet. This wasn’t a problem I expected to have at twenty-five. Things had been looking up and there was no reason to think that they wouldn’t stay that way.  \nI walked through the living room and slid open the massive doors that led onto the large veranda. A warm, damp breeze drifted in on a gust of salty sea air. The house had a spectacular view. None of the other homes on this strip of beach could match it. Dad had paid a fortune for this lot—the last on the beachfront zoned for private use—and had this monstrosity built. I remembered the day we moved in as I walked towards the empty pool.  \nWe’d been so happy, so excited. Mom loved the place, so did I. They’d have parties and cookouts for the neighbors and dad would invite his employees over for company beach days. It was fun while it lasted.  \nThe pool was empty. It had been that way for a while, I could tell by the hairline cracks in the concrete. It had been a custom job, the biggest private pool in town, Dad always used to brag about it. He was proud of his accomplishments and he had every right to be. He worked his ass off to get where he did.  \nA light breeze brushed past and I looked towards the busier end of the beach where the hotels and resorts dominated the coastline. They were new, relatively anyway. I remembered seeing them when I was a kid, but they were family owned and operated and depended on repeat business from the same people who had been vacationing here for years. When this place took off as a popular destination for spring break, the smaller hotels disappeared and were replaced by the massive mega structures that were there now.  \nIt was inevitable. The beach was incredible. Almost two miles of white, sandy paradise — the tourists loved it and this house was now nestled amongst the chain resorts surrounding it. The lot was too small to sell to commercial investors and no individuals wanted to live in the middle of  \nparty central. The place was basically worthless, which is probably why my father ended up leaving half of it to me.  \nBut at this point it was all I had. Everything else was gone—and I mean everything. I was fairly certain that I was cursed.  \nI’d been mostly on my own since I was sixteen. After my mom died, my father married Sandra and saying that the two of us didn’t get alo","cbCaijk8iTY12eGh","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijk8iTY12eGh","pdf",3900804,4,74,"English","en",105,"# Chapter 1\n## Return to the empty house\n## Memories and family history\n## Preparing for spring break","[{\"question\":\"What does the protagonist find when he returns to the house?\",\"answer\":\"The house is empty, hot, musty, and has major issues like a thermostat that appears stuck or unresponsive after he tries to turn the lights and heat on.\"},{\"question\":\"Why does the protagonist consider the place cursed?\",\"answer\":\"He believes his life has repeatedly unraveled around this home, including strained family dynamics, his mother’s death, and the way the stepfamily situation left him isolated for years.\"},{\"question\":\"What interrupts the protagonist’s attempt to stay isolated?\",\"answer\":\"The doorbell rings, forcing him to answer and leading to an unexpected encounter as spring break crowds are about to arrive.\"}]","King of Spring Break - Part 1 - Finn Foltz | PDF",1785474435,114,{"code":4,"msg":31,"data":32},"ok",{"site_id":24,"language":23,"slug":33,"title":13,"keywords":34,"description":14,"schema_data":35,"social_meta":86,"head_meta":88,"extra_data":90,"updated_unix":28},"king-of-spring-break-part-1-finn-foltz","",{"@graph":36,"@context":85},[37,53,68],{"@type":38,"itemListElement":39},"BreadcrumbList",[40,44,48,51],{"item":41,"name":42,"@type":43,"position":11},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":45,"name":46,"@type":43,"position":47},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":49,"name":12,"@type":43,"position":50},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/story-novel/",3,{"item":52,"name":13,"@type":43,"position":20},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/king-of-spring-break-part-1-finn-foltz/115535/",{"url":52,"name":13,"@type":54,"author":55,"headline":13,"publisher":57,"fileFormat":60,"inLanguage":23,"description":14,"dateModified":61,"datePublished":62,"encodingFormat":60,"isAccessibleForFree":63,"interactionStatistic":64},"DigitalDocument",{"name":9,"@type":56},"Person",{"url":41,"name":58,"@type":59},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-08-15","2026-07-31",true,{"@type":65,"interactionType":66,"userInteractionCount":20},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":67},"ViewAction",{"@type":69,"mainEntity":70},"FAQPage",[71,77,81],{"name":72,"@type":73,"acceptedAnswer":74},"What does the protagonist find when he returns to the house?","Question",{"text":75,"@type":76},"The house is empty, hot, musty, and has major issues like a thermostat that appears stuck or unresponsive after he tries to turn the lights and heat on.","Answer",{"name":78,"@type":73,"acceptedAnswer":79},"Why does the protagonist consider the place cursed?",{"text":80,"@type":76},"He believes his life has repeatedly unraveled around this home, including strained family dynamics, his mother’s death, and the way the stepfamily situation left him isolated for years.",{"name":82,"@type":73,"acceptedAnswer":83},"What interrupts the protagonist’s attempt to stay isolated?",{"text":84,"@type":76},"The doorbell rings, forcing him to answer and leading to an unexpected encounter as spring break crowds are about to arrive.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":52,"og:type":87,"og:title":13,"og:site_name":58,"og:description":14},"article",{"robots":89,"canonical":52},"index,follow",{"doc_id":7,"site_id":24},{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":92},[93,96,100,104,109,114,119,124,129,132,136],{"id":11,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":12,"show_sort_weight":94,"slug":95},90,"story-novel",{"id":47,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":97,"show_sort_weight":98,"slug":99},"Literature",80,"literature",{"id":20,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":101,"show_sort_weight":102,"slug":103},"Exam",70,"exam",{"id":105,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":106,"show_sort_weight":107,"slug":108},5,"Comic",60,"comic",{"id":110,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":111,"show_sort_weight":112,"slug":113},6,"Technology",50,"technology",{"id":115,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":116,"show_sort_weight":117,"slug":118},7,"Healthcare",40,"healthcare",{"id":120,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":121,"show_sort_weight":122,"slug":123},8,"Research & Report",30,"research-report",{"id":125,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":126,"show_sort_weight":127,"slug":128},9,"Religion & Spirituality",20,"religion-spirituality",{"id":127,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":130,"show_sort_weight":127,"slug":131},"World Cup","world-cup",{"id":133,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":134,"show_sort_weight":133,"slug":135},10,"Lifestyle","lifestyle",{"id":137,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":138,"show_sort_weight":105,"slug":139},19,"General","general"]
