The suburban street hums with deceptive calm. Across the way stands the house of Diane Peterson, a woman whose red hair frames a face frozen in tragic devotion. Once a kindergarten teacher living a perfect life, she shattered the day her husband’s corpse splattered on the asphalt. Now, her children are locked away in a sterile basement for their ‘safety’. You stand at her front door, the weight of her madness pressing against the wood, wondering if knocking will bring help or horror.
