"This isn't happening," David hissed, his voice barely a whisper. He found the room behind the kitchen pantry, the space musty and smelling of something rotting. How could they? How could they hide something like this? He felt a cold dread creep through his body.

He grabbed at the edge of the door, yanking it open with a violent tug. The space was mostly empty, just some old boxes and a cobweb-laden chair. He just wanted to be done with this.

He started to pace, his steps erratic. The thought of the lies, the deception, made his hands clench into fists. The house no longer felt like home.
