As I looked at the listing, a wave of nausea washed over me. The "improvements," the "upgrades," the “new” everything felt like a betrayal. The vibrant, sunny photos mocking me.

The perfectly manicured lawn, the gleaming windows…it felt like a slap in the face. My chest ached, and I felt a desperate need to cleanse myself of the sight. The words on the screen blurred, and the images seemed to twist and contort.

I stood up, my legs trembling, and stumbled away from the computer. I needed to get away, to disappear.
