#113 – The Landlord by C.V. Hunt and Andersen Prunty
Marcus and Robin meet in an online forum. It isn’t long before the two become a couple and Robin moves in with Marcus. Life in their cozy apartment in the city suits them, until a notice is slid under their door. The cost of rent is going up, something neither of them can afford, and finding a new place that’s within their budget proves to be a challenge.
When Robin discovers an ad for a charming tiny house in a village called Little Falls, not too far from the city, it seems too good to be true. After visiting the town, they convince themselves the house isn’t too small and the landlord is more quirky and eccentric than creepy. Besides, they tell themselves, if it doesn’t work out, they can always move next year when the lease is up.
But shortly after settling in, they begin to question their decision. Something about the ever-present landlord feels off. And when they begin to regret signing the lease, the landlord offers them a chilling warning: breaking it will bring consequences far worse than staying.
