The Recall Trials

I pulled up to the house just as the last bit of sunlight disappeared.

The gate opened automatically.

I parked and stepped out, slamming the car door a little harder than necessary.

I was tired.

Tired of everything.

I walked through the main door, kicking my shoes off lazily.

But of course, nothing ever goes that easy in this house.

I froze mid-step.

The voice came from the dining room.
