    So wonderful! For me, the "torture" of the story isn't knowing the true identity of the young lady, as it is what she will do to her "aunt".

      ⁠@@EnCryptedHorrorit really doesn’t connect to anything in the writing until in the 11th hour, but by then we are more engaged in these “two relatives being themselves an isolated event”. The murder on the corner of a Lady, who was most definitely living in the same place when our Musician was a weak & fractured young girl, seams woven into the scene as a reflection of the child’s potential & the world’s vulnerabilities.
      There are questionable behavioral abnormalities of the presented youth & so we wonder a bit about this “Lucy”, but our homeowner’s evening confessions of her own youthful pains & desires, somehow entwines the two events such that the Lady of the house survives through the local nightmares & another young lady escapes. For fear or connection, theirs is an understanding. I think this kind of tale was of its time. Writing that sews a tangle of moral ambiguity for what is right being wrong & what is wrong being right- I think of Rebecca. Something about the late 40’s-50’s really blurred lines, just as society was from the micro family level to the macro political level; generationally these themes just had to be birthed by the roaring twenties. The men were all killed & the women were evolving & it shows in the fiction.
      Those are my layered thoughts.
      I really enjoyed it. Thanks!
