The Shed

M

y room was quite spacious. It consisted of a queen-sized bed with a fresh quilt spread on it, armchairs by the fireplace, a dressing table, and a walk-in window that led to the small balcony connected to my room. The first thing I did after coming to my room was text Nathan, "Hi Nathan. I am going to be staying here tonight and getting back to the city tomorrow after breakfast. I did not find any solid clues, but the visit did confirm some of my suspicions. I will explain in detail once I am back." After tossing my phone onto the bed, I immediately hopped into the shower.

The warm water soothed all of my sore muscles. It had been a hectic couple of days, so it felt good to relax by taking a warm shower. I got out of the shower to see freshly ironed pajamas placed neatly on the bedspread. Anne's an extremely considerate person. If my life and circumstances allowed, I would like to be friends with her. But would she welcome me if she knew I was a homicide suspect?

Would she let someone like me get close to her family, her kids? The thought instantly made my good and relaxed mood evaporate. I changed into the pajamas and lay down on the bed. The environment was so cozy. The wood in the fire cackled occasionally, and the fire itself burned with a low hum. The quilt molded around my entire body. I fell asleep instantly. I had not had such a great night of sleep since forever. That night, there were no dreams.

I woke up before the twilight of dawn. The entire house was dead silent. After numerous attempts to go back to sleep, I gave up and sat on the bed. I felt relaxed and fresh. I wondered what my life might have been like if it was normal. This house would have been mine. This is where I would have grown up, with a loving father and a protective mother.

I would not have had to go through all of this and lie to perfect strangers if it was not for my father's past. I have never hated him more than I did right at this moment. What exactly was my fault? Why was I being punished for everything? He is already in his grave; why do I have to atone for his sins? I was furious. I was furious at my luck, I was furious at a deity I did not believe in, and I was furious at everyone who snatched this life away from me. I no longer wanted to run. I only wanted to reclaim my life.

I exited the house through my room's balcony. Even though the room was on the second floor, it was not that high up to make it difficult or dangerous to jump. I had thought about going through the front door, but I realized it would wake someone up. I did not want that. As nice as Frank and Anne were, I wanted to explore the shed alone.
