Novel & Cerita The Last House On The Street

"Maze, not here-" But then, Kaownah's too late. "Maze!" I fired three times. Making sure that he won't live after hearing his supposed 'last words'. I slowly put the gun down before looking at Kaownah and he seemed shock upon seeing the look on my face. "M-maze." He called my name breathily. "His last words were, 'your husband will die no matter what'."I told Crimson and he looked surprised. Not only because of the man's last words but also because of the way I said it.

“We'll all give up our places! Surely a life matters more than a rule!” The entire hall erupted. Everyone was pressuring me. I looked at Michelle kneeling on the floor. I looked at the families voluntarily giving up their slots. The lighter in my hand had grown so hot it nearly burned my palm. “A debt? When my grandfather died, every debt he owed the Hall family was already repaid.” I rose to my feet and walked over to the medicine cabinet. I grabbed a handful of dried sage and tossed it into a brass bowl. A cloud of pungent white smoke billowed upward, stinging everyone's eyes.

Wrapped in an old coat, Conrad sat alone in the damp basement apartment. The room was dark. Only a nearly burned-out candle on the coffee table cast a faint glow. Beside it sat a shriveled roasted sweet potato. He had stood in line for two hours that day to buy it from a street vendor. "Happy New Year, Seraphina." He spoke softly to the empty room. Picking up the cold sweet potato, he peeled away the charred skin and took a large bite. The rough fibers scraped against his throat. A familiar spasm twisted through his stomach.

"I am what I am, Papa. Tell Don Moretti I'm no longer his concern." I hung up. Damien came to me, draping his jacket over my shoulders. "Okay?" I leaned into him, looking at the tree in the yard. "Yeah. I'm okay." The daisies on the windowsill were long gone, replaced by fresh ones. Every week, he brought new flowers. I thought of the girl who used to follow her sister. The one who always picked up the scraps. She never imagined she'd end up here. Held. Seen. Chosen. Not leftovers. First.

At the best age of my life, they drove me to end it in the most devastating way possible. By the time they left the funeral home, the sky was beginning to lighten. The snow was still falling. It had piled thick on the ground, and every step crunched beneath their feet, a sound that matched the fractured rhythm of their breaking hearts. Back at home, the dinner dishes were still on the table, the food long cold. The holiday gift cards still sat on the coffee table, their bright colors now painful to look at. The home that had once felt warm was nothing but cold and silent now.

Despite the striking contrast to the rest of the city, this one street was a world unto itself, a place where the rules were different and the normal conventions of society didn't apply. 'Hmm… I thought this side of the city has been taken care of' Luke blurted out. 'Due to some reasons, the government had to let them be' she said as she sighs. 'I think that's the house over there, house 52' 'Yeah, I think that's the house' They approached the house, which looked unassuming and unremarkable from the outside. The paint was faded, the windows were dirty, and the yard was overgrown with weeds.

As soon as I put one out for sale, I'll be found out and I'll die. At this stage of my life, of course, I'm not afraid of death. But Nuri and Sibyl, those b.itches aren't dead yet! I sat on the bed and looked up and down at the house. Dim, old is all it is. Oh, and lonely. The smoke-stained walls, the greasy rickety tables and chairs, the creaking windows and doors, all suggested that the old house, isolated in the depths of the street, had come to an end.

Especially when I was already close to Darick's location. I placed my phone into my pocket and continued driving. As I approached the house, an eerie feeling washed over me. There sat Darick's house. It was the last one on the corner of the street. Black curtains covered the windows and rusty white panels and splintered beams indicated that the home hadn't been cared for in ages. 'How could anyone be content with such a site?' I thought to myself.

A laugh, hers, low and echoing through the pitch-black. And from the silence, her whisper slithered up the staircase, cold enough to freeze my blood: “Tonight, Lena… the Carter house takes its final offering.” The lights are gone, the house is plunged into blackness, and Mrs. Hills declares Lena as the Carter house’s “final offering.”

Part of the money from selling her house was donated to a youth mental health foundation. Our friend spoke with a sigh. "She seems much calmer now. But she's always alone, like there's no warmth left in her life. She said it's the price she has to pay." "It's all in the past," I said again, gently but firmly. The friend did not press further. Eventually, even those bits of news about her faded away. She disappeared completely from my world. My life was filled with new colors and sounds. The studio expanded and moved into a brighter, more spacious place.
