Emily felt a wave of revulsion wash over her as she looked at the meticulously manicured lawn, the same grass that likely absorbed the evidence of a hidden evil. She grabbed her gardening gloves, her hands trembling, the thought of digging in the soil repelling her. She imagined the police tape, the flashing lights, the whispers of the neighborhood. She couldn't understand how anyone could have ever found this place appealing.
