She stood amidst the detritus, a veritable graveyard of the past. A broken rocking horse, its painted eyes staring blankly at the rafters. A trunk overflowing with moth-eaten clothes. The sheer audacity of it all! They had signed a contract! They'd agreed to leave the place empty.

"They're taking the piss, that's what they're doing," she seethed under her breath, kicking at a tarnished music box. The lid popped open, and a tinny, off-key melody filled the air, only intensifying her rising ire.
