100 Words: There’s something wrong with the house you just bought… My entry:
I closed the door behind me. I’d just left the escrow office, handed the keys, and driven straight here.
The house was mine now. All — just — mine.
It was quiet, vibratingly empty. Eyes closed, I could hear my breath echo coolly off the hardwood and plaster.
The movers would arrive in a few days, bringing my stuff from storage. I’d need to figure out here the furniture and boxes should go. Eventually.
I opened my eyes again, looking around. It would never be the same. She would never live there.
It would be my house. But it could never by my home.
