The thought of someone else living in her childhood home sparked a visceral revulsion. She imagined strangers walking through her hallways, sitting on her couch, sleeping in her bed. She couldn't stomach the thought.

The photos showed a "fresh" and "modernized" interior, and all she could see were mistakes. The cheap, fake wood flooring made her want to run far, far away. She gagged at the sight of the renovated bathroom.

Her breath hitched in her chest. She needed to escape this digital invasion of her past. She felt a need to cleanse, to scrub, to purify. She stood up and paced, a restless energy coursing through her.
