The attic stairs groaned under her weight as she stomped her way up. Her brother, Peter, was already there, rummaging through boxes with a smug grin. The injustice of it all - his share in this house.

She grabbed a dusty trunk and heaved it open, the hinges protesting. She wanted to throw it all down the stairs, break every single thing. He seemed to notice her and turned to face her.

"Find anything good, sis?"

She just grunted, digging her nails into the trunk's contents. "No." The word was a breathy sound, her chest felt tight. All she wanted was to be left alone.
