The House on Willow Lane
Nestled at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, surrounded by towering willow trees, stood the old Victorian house on Willow Lane. For years, the house had sat vacant, its windows boarded up and its once-grand facade crumbling with neglect. But to the residents of the small town, the house held a dark and sinister reputation—a place whispered about in hushed tones, its secrets buried deep within its walls.

Fade. Content Warning.
The sun beat down upon me while I crossed the threshold on this final leg of my journey. I was nearly there. One more road to cross and I, whom carried this burden, would at last be free of it. I remember it well, the day of my receipt, the day of my taking, the day I left, the burden that has become my life. At sixteen, I was made the Lord of my father’s manners, he and my mother had passed away in a small carriage accident. I remember the crawling feeling that burrowed deep into my bones, it was as if I was to suffer alone and alone is where I would always belong. The lights went out inside my mind on that day, and I had not once cared what would happen to me, as all that I knew was now gone, lost, carried away by some specter that frightened the horse and made the plummet into the gorge that lined the manner. My parents were not far from home when the scream of the fall echoed through the now vacant and void walls, their lasting cries now all I hear. It would be but a week before one could get to them and upon the burial, I was at once made Lord.

Torn. Content Warning.
Late one summer evening I was out walking in the Yard with my beloved as we had been meeting there to confirm our courtship, as was the custom for our two families, they had bargained once a generation where a daughter and son were to be wed and keep the families at bay and prosperous, as well as in power. It was here in the Yard where she and I would meet and discuss the unlikeliness of her and I having a true UNION as neither of us felt a thing for each other, though neither of us wished to dispose our family heritage nor that of our rights or for what their possible removal of our status would become, it seemed to the two of us that we were forced into a destined loveless marriage that we could not escape. Together we had plotted numerous ideations as to how we could escape our fate, yet none would invoke the demand to run without severe consequences. It was this night in the summer as the wind cascading off the mountains and into the small valley where our town was, in the center, the Yard, where we would be able to find the answer.
