by the Troubador
I agree with commenters who said it could use a few more details after the death. Just a little.
ADD MORE DETAILS ABOUT THEIR LIFE AFTER PARTNERS DEATH
This house is going to have some interesting tales and I will be quite happy to read every one of them. No one weaves a story like the Troubador!
This left me disturbed and uneasy, as the author, I'm sure, intended. A dark tale, superbly told.
