Greetings, Sumojo I found your item while cruising through random reviewing.

First thoughts
All of your stories are a pleasure to read, and this one was no exception. I liked everything in this story, but how the painting destroyed the mansion wasn't clear to me. The painting never seemed to have a negative influence. Neither the song nor the subsequent actions (The appearance of Gene Kelly and Debby Reynolds didn't strike me as threatening.) Haunting, yes, but also cool.

As the plot unrolls
The story mirrors the oncoming plot. First, the purchase and then the happenings. I guessed the concurrences from the first few paragraphs. i.e. Neither the house nor the store would be present. This unrolling played out the drama to a maximum. At least the man no longer had the painting. And maybe seeing the dancing would have spooked me as much as the narrator.

Observations
Cyd Charisse danced with Kelly for the musical "Singing in the Rain." Debbie Reynolds was not available. Maybe there was another rendition?

Lasting impression
I wasn't overly emotional when reading the plot. The story was laid out without scaring me. But I did enjoy reading it. Probably, if the story was more haunting, I wouldn't like it. Yes, that's 'contradictory me'—most often of two minds. And I'm weird. I felt sad for the house.

Keep up your talented writing.
