The air inside the house smelled of dust and decay. Arthur stood stiffly in the hallway, his jaw tight, as his sister, Beatrice, excitedly explored the house. Every creak of the floorboards, every whisper of the wind through the broken windows, amplified his unease. He felt suffocated.

"Isn't it wonderful?" Beatrice called from the living room. Arthur just tightened his grip on his keys. Wonderful. He wanted to scream.

He wandered through the rooms, avoiding her. This whole situation was more than he could bear.
