Entering the unusual house with more than odd occupants, feeling confident which quickly subsided,
There was a sight feeling of destiny as his stiffly minded consciousness started to melt. What was this place and why did he feel compelled to visit?
Creatures as yet unknown to him, curiously eyed the newcomer, yet he felt somehow already known.
Fantasy beckons him, he whose life resembles an unending assembly line, is now experiencing something unusual, something enticing and excitingly new.
Should he turn away or let the spirit of the house win him over, or can it? Linus steps inside and may find adventure or disappointment, but indeed a challenge and we all need challenges in life.

I have no idea if this is what you are looking for in the prompt. The book I refer to is “The House in the Cerulean Sea” by T.J. Klune.
The Bag Lady 
Sounds absolutely intriguing, Cheryl. You have my curiosity about what happens.
