The Haunting Of Rot House

We learned to coexist.  I didn't react when it moved my belongings.  When it hid my keys or wallet.  I remained calm when I found the cord across the stairs.  And when the ceiling fan came down.  I pretended not to hear its unholy howls from the closets.  The scratching behind the walls.  


And that terrible smell.
