You have just moved into a new house/apartment. You have been looking forward to this move or at least not dreading it. While you are unpacking, you find a handwritten note taped to one of the kitchen cupboards. The note fills you with very different emotions. Your new apartment/house isn't quite what you thought it would be according to the letter.
What does it say?
Write it in 150 words or fewer.
**************************
New occupant,
Welcome to our home. The home is not yours alone, though you possess the deed. It is but a pretense.
This place is a construct of my making. It is mine, even in design. Only due to greedy banks is it yours. Those greedy banks with lifeless, leeching fingers! I hate them. I despise them. I could kill every employee…
I could kill you, too. But it isn’t your fault. You are but a muzzled puppy, like myself. You don’t own this place.
I will share this house with you. I lurk among its more private spaces even now. I did build this house, as I said and know every secret corner, every concealed room. We will get along fine. My presence will be felt but invisible like a ruffling breeze.
Your children seem nice. Take care of yourself… and them.
