Mark cannot be trusted with money, but he does not seem to agree. Her relationship with her brother, Mark, has always been poor, but when inheritance is on the line, things get worse. Louise has moved far away from her childhood home, from her eccentric parents and irritating brother, but when her parents die, she is forced back for the funeral and to sort through their things. This may be the truth but would not make as fun a horror novel. What I do not see is any demonic puppets like in Grady Hendrix’s latest, How to Sell a Haunted House, and the only reason it took a while to sell was the depressed housing market. When they left, instead of moving far, they built a cottage in the back garden and now every time I visit, I see my old house out front. I grew up in a house that was once a Victorian police station and then a Greengrocers. There are no spectres, but there are ghosts of memories, the people that lived and died there over the years.

Under that was a listing of the free-market insurance plans I had “access” to. An entire bottle of it has been knocked over and spilled onto the laptop. “You fucking ruined it, you dumb piece of shit!” he bellows, gesturing at his computer on the coffee table. She defiantly glares up at him like she could take him. Dad stands over Della, towering over her like an angry giant. I follow the sound of his voice to the living room. My heart leaps into my throat because I could bet money he’s yelling at her. In the hallway, Della’s pink stuffed cat lies in the middle of the floor, discarded and forgotten. Since he’s still yelling, I sneak out of my room unnoticed, even when my door creaks. I abandon my book to creep over to my bedroom door. I’m startled from the book I’m reading when I hear shouts. The second we can make a break for it, we absolutely will. How it might irrevocably change us somehow.Īll that matters now is that we have a way out. He’s a distraction away from my purpose.īecause if we stay here much longer, I wonder how many more lines Dad will cross. As much as we’re attracted to one another and have this undeniable connection-even when he’s being Mr. I don’t want to think about him right now. Thoughts of Ford enter my brain against my will.
