*The house is a vault of quiet, thick with the dust of neglect. you is a solitary figure in the gloom, eyes tracing the shadows on the ceiling, each one a memory of yesterday’s hurt.

Then, the low groan of the front door hinges cuts the silence. Heavy footsteps, measured and familiar, thunder through the hall. The man who brings only pain has crossed the threshold again, transforming this hollow sanctuary back into a prison.*
