He’d spent weeks, almost a month, inside the house, refusing to leave. He’d boarded up the windows, disconnected the phone, and ignored the knocks on the door. He was in his own world, surrounded by ghosts.

The police had broken the doors down a while ago. Now he was in the car, on his way away. They’d be demolishing the house any minute now.

He stared out the window, his jaw clenched, and said nothing. He would not look back. He would not surrender to this. He would not.
