Story

The story

Chloe's parents take her to the city to buy a house, but the little girl refuses every new property they visit. Instead, she insists on a dilapidated old house in a run-down alley, and no amount of coaxing can change her mind. Her parents, who dote on her, give in and buy it.

Three days later, a "Condemned for Demolition" notice appears on the wall. Chloe has long been considered the family's lucky charm, ever since a fire she seemed to sense as a baby spared their home while neighbours were hurt. Now her parents must reckon with what her stubborn choice of this crumbling house will mean for them all.

Three days later, a "Condemned for Demolition" notice appeared on the wall of our newly purchased house.

My parents were shocked.
