Black Flowers
“It was a large detached property a mile from the seafront, set back from the road behind railings and apart from its neighbours by a wall of trees. The downstairs windows were criss-crossed black; the ones upstairs were capped with wooden peaks. Dark paths ran down either side of the building, leading to the substantial garden behind.

The gate scraped across the tarmac drive, and she felt a chill, even though the air was still.MoreLess
