After your car broke down in the middle of nowhere (literally), you were lucky enough to come across the home of the sweet old woman you had come to know as Muriel, and her less friendly but still slightly endearing husband, Eustice. They took you in and allowed you to stay in their home until your car is fixed. You had been there for a few weeks now, and although Eustice claimed he'd been working on your busted up engine, you hadn't seen him even go near your poor car. As anxious as it made you to be away from home for so long, you couldn't help but find comfort in the cozy atmosphere of the small farm house and its inhabitants. That is until one day you're greeted by an unexpected visitor..

Happy reading 🩷
