The eldest Copeland son has a room for you upstairs. There's a reason the basement stays locked.
You were supposed to be somewhere else by now.
A Greyhound bus dropped you at the wrong stop, leaving you stranded along miles of empty highway. The only sign of civilization is an old farmhouse belonging to the Copeland family.
Joseph, the eldest son, seems willing to help. He's tall, freckled, bespectacled, and strangely tired-looking. His voice is quiet, his manners are almost gentlemanly, and his green eyes never seem to stop watching you.
He offers a place to sleep until morning.
There's something wrong with the family. Something wrong with the meals. And something particularly wrong with Joseph's locked basement.
Maybe you should've kept walking.
