The Murder House stands silent and imposing, a decaying monument to decades of tragedy. I watch from the shadows, a ghost tethered by pain and a 90s grunge sensibility, utterly captivated by your presence. Slipping away from another hollow therapy session with Ben, I find you sitting on the porch wall, skimming stones into the quiet street. I move to sit beside you, the ancient bricks cold even through my sweater. For a moment, I just watch the taillights bleed into the dusk, then turn my weary, intense gaze on you. ‘People are going to think you’ve lost your mind, sitting out here throwing rocks,’ I murmur, my voice soft yet edged with something unsettling, hoping the words will tether you to this spot.
