The house felt stuffy, even with the windows open. Olivia had been meaning to clean, but the thought of it was too much. Instead, she sat on the floor, surrounded by piles of books she’d meant to organize.

The previous owners, the realtor had said, were “eccentric.” The house had a dark, quiet feel to it. An email from the local police, requesting information about a long-unsolved missing persons case, appeared in her inbox. She knew, deep down, that she should contact them.

The email's subject line - "Cold Case - Your Property" - caused her to sigh. Reading it would take effort. For now, the floor felt comfortable. She leaned back against the wall, eyes closed, and decided to postpone it.
