Creepy, creepy details! Though anybody who was still living in that cottage after all that stuff went down didn’t want to live anyway!

I rather thought they were stuck in there, but maybe not… I may have been filling in the gaps.
Lovely way to tell a story, Dan… leaves a lot of room for the reader’s mind to take hold of the story.
I love the way writers on this site play with format!
