I was broke when the call came — an attorney telling me my estranged Aunt Diane had left me an inheritance. The catch: I had to live in her old mill house for a year and keep a journal. The place was worn, draped in dust and silence, but in her study I found…
He’d been gone for three weeks. Three weeks of hollow silence, of checking the front door every five minutes, of the phone feeling like a lead weight in my hand, waiting for a call that never came. The police had asked their questions. Friends had offered their condolences, their theories, their empty hugs. But the…
