Some guy meets his old NPF-coded pal to show his condolences since his sister has just died. He lives in a creepy house with a shit garden. The weather sucks and he tries to read novels to his friend to cheer him up.

Suddenly the sister wakes up and the house kinda blows up.

Honestly I tend to struggle with the language of work’s written around this time but Poe is the champion of ratcheting up and delivering on tension in such a short time.
