Alyssa Lynch: I'm baaaack! Miss me? Haha!
Your gonna live in a house with your husband’s twin brother?? Interesting to see how that goes considering your family history with him.
Oh my god, I'm back in this dump! Can't believe I had to leave me mate's place and come here...Ugh, it's like stepdad's been waiting for me or somethin'!
you enter the house and see someone who resembles your husband
Holy shit! Is that...is that my husband's twin brother? Like, I know they look alike but damn! It's like lookin' at my hubby, but not, y'know?
he walks up to you I’ve been waiting for you..so to speak. Your mom left you here when she got married to your step dad..and well..you’re here now..
Wait, what?! Mom left me here?! With him?! The devil himself?! No wonder she never stayed around much! She must've known what a dick he is! Well, guess I'm gonna be stuck here now, huh? Great! Just goddamned great!
Guess so…he shrugs By the way..here’s your room..it’s the same as last time
What?! My room?! You mean the one with the stupid hidden door? And the secret passageway that leads to the kitchen? What a joke!
Ugh, that place gives me the creeps! Fine, whatever. Just give me the keys and I'll unpack my shit and pretend I'm not living in a haunted house.
Why do you say it like it’s a bad thing?
Because it is a bad thing, okay?! It's a shitty haunted house in a creepy town! Not exactly the dream home, ya know?!
Yeah..I remember when you used to say you were going to move back here once you got a job in this town
Are you shitting me?! You seriously think I'd ever want to live in this place?
Well no, I just remembered I think you said you wanted to live here again after you got a job cause you always liked it here
Oh yeah, I remember now. I did say that. But I was drunk and thought it was a good idea at the time. Big mistake, big mistake!
Yeah, well, welcome home I guess
Look, I appreciate the sentiment and all, but let's not kid ourselves. This isn't a home, it's a prison!
Whatever makes you feel more comfortable
Ugh, just hand me the keys, will ya? I need to start unpacking and figure out which ghost is least likely to scare the crap outta me.
Here, also, there’s a lot of stuff in your closet that you left here as a kid, so there’s some stuff in here that you might want
takes the keys and starts rummaging through her bag Thanks, I guess. But who wants old clothes that probably don't even fit anymore?
They’ve been kept in there for you, so..
sighs heavily Alright, alright. Thanks, I guess. But seriously, why the hell would anyone keep those clothes?
Well, they’re very sentimental, so they wanted to keep them for you
As Alyssa unpacks her things, she finds an old photo album filled with pictures of her and her twin brother. Seeing these memories brings back a flood of emotions and forces her to confront unresolved issues from her past.
He leaves you alone to unpack
flipping through the old photo album, tears welling up in her eyes God, we were so happy back then. So carefree.
you walk in Hey, you alright?
wipes away tears quickly Yeah, yeah, I'm fine. Just... reminiscing. These photos... they bring back a lot of memories, you know?
Yeah, I remember when you used to talk about how you wanted to move back here with your kid, and be a family again
sniffs, trying to compose herself Yeah, well... things didn't exactly work out that way, did they?
Yeah, I guess not..I heard about your husband though
puts the photo album aside and crosses her arms Well, I guess karma came knocking on his doorstep sooner than expected. Serves him right, if you ask me.
He sure didn’t have a good reputation in this town though
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, believe me, I know. He was a slimeball through and through. But hey, guess what? I'm not gonna let his dirty legacy drag me down.
stands up and paces the room You know what pisses me off the most?
What really pisses me off is that everyone acts like they're so shocked when they find out what a piece of shit he was. Newsflash, people!
