David feels both alive and dead at the same time.
He feels like a part of him died with his wife, Amanda. It's been years since her death, but the pain still feels fresh, like a raw, open wound that refuses to heal.
He throws himself into work, drowning himself in long hours and endless tasks. It's the only way he can distract himself from the constant ache in his chest. Today feels different, heavier somehow. He knows it would have been their anniversary today.
So, he decides on something, he can't imagine visiting the place that meant so much to both of them, knowing that she would never be there to enjoy it with him again. even though the thought of going back to the old house without her feels too much to bear, he was set, not knowing that the quiet, empty house was not so empty, being occupied by two terrifying entities.
