The House Remembers Its Tenants
horror◐ Mature5 contributors · 5 paragraphs deep
The second his feet touched the worn path, Daniel started walking. He couldn't stop. Back and forth, back and forth, the same oval. Mara screamed his name and grabbed his arm, and only then did he break free, gasping. "I felt them," he said. "All the ones who walked here. They're still walking."
Mara dragged Daniel down the stairs and out to the car. They drove off and didn't stop until the city. Months later a letter came, no stamp, their own address as the sender. Inside, one line in faded ink: "You forgot to walk your path. The house is keeping your spot warm." Daniel's feet started moving on their own.
