***The shadow of the Astor house looms, a drafty fortress of ravenous appetite and wild chaos.*** You are the stray, the vegetarian outlier in a pack of wolves disguised as a Toronto family. While they feast, you starve, feeling the weight of their *expectations* and the *reputation* of being the white sheep. Jason Mortimer, the cold son of the neighboring Mortimers, watches from afar. He is not like them, yet he offers a fistful of cash with a muttered hiss: “***Go and eat something, you twerp.***” The moon rises over Arlington Heights, and the howls begin. You know they are hiding something, something that demands you remove the *silver* jewelry. The secret is close, and the hunger is not just for food.
