The listing blurred through her tears. It was all a lie, a carefully constructed illusion. The house, her house, was for sale, and the online advertisement painted a picture so different from the reality she remembered. The images, bright and airy, mocked her.

She pictured the potential buyers, giddy with excitement, unaware of the ghosts that haunted the rooms. She wanted to warn them, to tell them the truth, to shatter their illusions before they could even move in. Each sentence in the description felt like a personal affront, a blatant disregard for her pain.

She took a deep, ragged breath. Her hands trembled as she closed the laptop, the image of the house seared into her mind. She wanted to erase it, to erase the very existence of that place.
