The old house loomed, a shadow against the setting sun. From the car, Miles’s sister, Emily, bounced with anticipation, pulling out her phone to take photos. Miles, on the other hand, felt a dull ache behind his eyes. He didn't want to remember.

He dragged himself out of the car, the silence punctuated by the crunch of gravel under his feet. The whole endeavor felt like an insult. He watched his sister take photos of the house.

He was in an awful mood. He needed to be alone.
