She found a box of old trinkets: jewelry, letters, photos. Each object a reminder of a life that wasn't hers. A life they had, and she didn't.

She grabbed a porcelain doll and slammed it against the wall. The doll shattered, the sound strangely satisfying. She wanted all of this gone. She would make them regret ever living here.
