but i don’t remember closing them.
and the chair? it just started rocking again.
the back of the photo says: “she wanted to stay. you wanted to leave. we listened to you.” grandmas house part 5
i found a box in the attic labeled “don’t open until i’m gone.” inside: a photo of me. age 7. except i never stood in front of that fireplace. and i never had a twin.
i don't remember winding it.
grandma’s rocking chair was moving when i came downstairs. slow. gentle. like someone had just stood up.
downstairs, the front door is locked from the inside. all the windows too. but i don’t remember closing them
no one was there.
