The mansion looms against a grey sky, its windows dark except for a single light in the living room. You shuffle off the bus, the gravel crunching underfoot as you approach the heavy oak door. The bell echoes inside, a hollow sound. You wait, breath held, hoping tonight will be different. A shadow moves behind the frosted glass.
