Tales from the House

Jessica Grove:
Why were we evicted from our home?

Lucy Grove:
Your father and I have been having problems paying the rent for our house. This is only until we get back on our feet.

Lucy Grove:
I'm sure you'll love our new house anyway.

Detective:
What in high heavens happened here?

Jessica Grove:
She did it. She did it to get rid of a past she'd rather forget.

Detective:
Who did?

Jessica Grove:
It doesn't matter who. It just shows that she really did care and she could move on.

Jessica Grove:
*She turns to face the detective* And I would be so glad to follow in her footsteps. Can we please leave? This is the past, I don't want to be here anymore.

Mary:
It's sad, when a mother has to speak the words that condemn her own sons. But I couldn't live with murderers.

Mary:
They'll take them away now, as I should have, years ago. They always interfered with Donald and I.

Mary:
And in the end, they told the police some whimsical tale of my suffering. As if anything happened. Maybe it hurt sometimes, but I loved him.

Mary:
*She pulls out a knife* They'll discover my corpse no matter where I hide. Well, let them. Let them make up stories.

Mary:
Then they'll see, they'll see and they'll know and they'll say, "Why, wasn't that the House, where all the terror began?"

Officer Don:
Hi, Jessica. My name is Officer Don and this is Officer Austin. We just want to ask a few questions about yesterday afternoon.

Officer Austin:
We won't get too into this now, we know you need time. But what did you see when you came home?

Jessica Grove:
My boyfriend and I got home, we saw the door had been broken down. We panicked and ran inside to see my fa-father standing over my de-dead mother with a bloody knife. *starts to sob*

Officer Don:
There, there, Jessica. We know this is hard for you. I need to ask you about your father. Was he doing any drugs, an alcoholic?

Jessica Grove:
N-no. He never drank and... he never did dru-drugs.

Officer Don:
Alright. What about their marriage? Was there anything you think that was causing their marriage to start failing?

Jessica Grove:
We-well, Father hated having to move houses after the eviction. He blam-blamed Mother for not helping him.

Jessica Grove:
You know, I thought this was going to happen.

Officer Don:
What?

Officer Austin:
What?

Jessica Grove:
I had a feeling... that someone was in our house... and they wanted to kill us...

Jessica Grove:
Oh crap, the lights went out.

Jessica Grove:
*She hears a noise* What was that?

Jessica Grove:
*She goes upstairs and sees a blockheaded person who resembles Lucy* Mother?

?:
HI... JESSICA...

?:
I... M... HA... PP... Y

Jessica Grove:
Oh, god, what the hell is going on?

?:
*She runs towards Jessica with a knife* YOU LITTLE B*TCH!

Mary:
Hey, Jessica, give Mother a kiss.

Jessica Grove:
Who... are... you?

Mary:
Your worst nightmare.
