"Betrayal," a short story by AmericanBruja, published by ParanormalCommunity in Real Life Paranormal Experiences

August, 2011

The House on Lizard Hill was falling apart. Years of neglect by previous owners left it in such sorry shape that a neighbor suggested the culdesac would be better if someone took a match to it.

The renovations needed far surpassed our middle class incomes, leaving much of the work to my husband.

"This place is going to kill me," he grumbled as rain seeped through one of the many openings in the roof.

Sighing, I offered an empathetic response, but secretly worried. Maybe we'd taken on more than we could handle when we bought the rambling 1939 ranch house.

To help pay our new mistress's upkeep, we rented out the larger of the two detached guest units to a nice young man. He'd recently relocated from the Midwest, and planned to bring his wife out as soon as he'd saved enough to upgrade his living conditions.
