Nine Tenants, Eight Keys
mystery◐ Mature5 contributors · 5 paragraphs deep
Edda pulls open the closet under the dead calendar. Inside, neatly folded, are eleven years of birthday cards, all addressed to Dahlia, all unopened. One card a year, eight signatures each. They kept writing to a woman who never came to read them.
Edda reads the newest card, dated this year. The last line is different from the rest: 'We're sorry. We're finally telling.' Below it, all eight signatures, and a confession that Dahlia is buried in the garden. They were going to come clean today. The fire beat them to it.
