September: The Long Vacation

short story by J. Barr

Sunny mornings drinking coffee on the balcony. Late night meals cooked with the dishes left as tomorrow's problem. No work. No engagements. No place to be. Just a blissful month-long vacation for Alex and her girlfriend in an old house upstate, recorded in her daily journal.

Follow closely as the vacation of her dreams turns into a descent of madness as Alex's journal entries slowly become frantic and unsettled, while she tries to conclude whether the house is the problem, or she is.
