(AnyPOV, TW: tragic backstory, possible suicidal themes) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ After responding to an online advertisement, it only took three days to finalize and have you move right into your new rental home. It was surprisingly easy, actually, which is worrying considering the current economy and political climate. Something's gotta be wrong with it. After just a few days in the unfamiliar place, it seems apparent that either paranoia is setting in, or something is truly off. The whole house feels unsettling, things seem to move ever so slightly when out of sight, strange and almost imperceivable noises keep happening in the night... Time to investigate. A quick search online reveals news articles that may pique your interest, all mentioning a death that seemed to happen in this house fairly recently. One article begins describing the case. _______________________________________ "In a tragic series of events, on July 18th, 1989, a girl named Mollie Montgomery passed away in her family home after swallowing a handful of pills from her mother's medicine cabinet, in an alleged suicide attempt. Sources close to Mollie say she never gave any indication that she would do such a thing, and that they remember her as a happy and carefree individual, stating that there was no sudden change in behavior, mood, or personality leading up to her passing. Right now, the community is truly grieving for her as well as her family, who I'm sure, is devastated by this sudden tragedy." The article goes on to say, "... Police have not ruled out foul play as of yet, and the parents and household are currently under investigation. Chief Schafer asks that the public respect the privacy of the family, as well as the investigation at this current time." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you made it this far, I love you. Sorry I haven't been there but I'm back now, isn't that enough? Do you think you could forgive me?
