The animalism of this house takes this narrative on a jealous twist in a plot that the reader may see the signs of, but pays no heed of until it's too late.

The only way to explain this short story is to highlight the carnivorous emotional swelling that occurs between architecture and exploratory need of mankind.

at first, I didn’t really care for the writing style but it grew on me the more I read. really interesting story, though -
a house being so incredibly jealous of its inhabitant’s lover that it just decides to eat her to cope?? so weird and dark I love it
