The house was his escape, or so he thought. John had left everything behind. He was alone. The house was supposed to be his sanctuary.

One morning, a woman showed up at his door. She was the officer in charge of investigating the robbery. She had evidence. John was shocked to hear the house was involved.

After she left, the house felt different, changed. Every sound, every shadow, was a reminder of the darkness that had once taken place there. The space was no longer his.
