"For: Alistair Finch." He knew the name; the previous tenant from over a year ago. It was sitting right in front of the door, and he could see it from his couch. He didn't want it there.

He stayed in the house, away from the door. He didn't order food. He couldn't trust anyone. He felt like his heart was trying to escape his chest.
