  Speaker 1: It's funny how desperation makes you take what you can get,
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: even if it's the worst. The moment I stepped out
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: of prison after seven years, had felt like the world
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: had moved on. Not that I could blame anyone. My
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: identity was stained associated with theft, vandalism, and crime. The
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: only luxury I was left was my old jealoppi and
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: sausage sandwiches. So when I found the ad for a
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: job as a housekeeper in Caroline's villa, I didn't think twice.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: No more sleazy part time jobs at Hooters, no more
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: drunken creeps treating me like crap. I just wanted something
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: to keep me off the streets. The interview was unsettling. Caroline,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: the lady of the house, was a seventy five year
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: old widow. From the second I saw her, something felt wrong.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Her smile stretched too far, like it didn't belong in
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: her face. Her eyes darted around, wild and jittery. Then
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: without warning, she let out this soft, eerie giggle that
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: sent a chill down my line. I caught her lips moving,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: whispering to herself, too quiet to make out. My gut
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: screamed at me to leave, but I needed this job.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: There's not much to do, just clean and help look
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: after my son Judas.
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: She said, her eyes widening.
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: He's been resting. My daughter, Dahlia likes to keep to herself.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Caroline's laugh filled the room, a high pitched, eerie sound
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: that made my skin crawl.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: Ellia's a good girl, quiet though she doesn't talk much,
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: just stares.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Despite the weird vibes. I took the job. What else
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: was I gonna do? Sleep in my car forever. I
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: packed up my few belongings and moved in the next morning.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: The house was huge, but not in the grand, cozy
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: way you'd expect. No, it was dark and musty, and
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: every corner felt like somebody's gonna jump out at you.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: Caroline showed me to my attic room.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: Y'll start tomorrow, Caroline said, grinning again.
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: There's only one room. Never step outside your room past midnight.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: The attic door slam shut behind her, and I was
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: alone with my thoughts and a mess outside the world
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: stuck with me. As I lay down, I didn't sleep well.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: The sound of winds scraping against the old windows, mixed
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: with a faint hum of whispers from below, kept me
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: on edge. By morning, I was already regretting my decision,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: ignoring everything, I started cleaning. The house was a disaster.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Caroline and Dollia lived like they had five lives. The
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: filth touched the roof, dirty towels everywhere, dishes crusted with
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: old food. The bathroom was a horror of its own.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: But my nightmare was Judas's room. He was in a coma,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: She'd said so. When I walked in, I wasn't expecting
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: the stench of bleach to burn my nose. His room
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: was spotless, like a hospital ward, the air was thick
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: with chemicals. Judas lay motionless on the bed, pale and sickly.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: For a moment, I could swear he wasn't breathing at all,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: but the beeping of the heart monitor reassured me. By nightfall,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: I was exhausted and passed out. The moment I fell
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: on the bed, it had to be around one am
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: when it happened.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: An ear piercing scream smacked me right out of bed.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: My heart nearly fell off my mouth when the screams
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: came again, sharp and desperate. Without thinking, I grabbed my
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: flashlight and bolted downstairs. My steps halted outside of Judas's room.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: The door was slightly open and the bed His bed
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: was empty. The heart monitor was off, the sheets were rumpled,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: but there was no sign of Judas.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: My breath caught in my throat. Could he have woken up?
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Could someone in a coma just get up? A low,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: guttural cham echoed from the basement. My feet moved on
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: their own, carrying me towards the sound. I should have
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: turned around, should have run out of that house, had
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: never looked back, But I couldn't.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: My legs had grown a mind to their own.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: I crept down the stairs, one slow step after another,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: until I reached the basement door. It was a jar,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: and an eerie orange light flickered from within. The scene
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: inside had me frozen. Caroline was hunched over a wooden plank,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: her hands hovering over Judas's still body.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: The guy wasn't in a coma.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: He was gone, gray skin, lips sunken, eyes half open.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: It wasn't Judas but his corpse. And beside Caroline, Dahlia
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: stood shivering like a leaf. Her eyes were wide with terror.
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: What the hell are you doing?
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: I yelled, not knowing it could be my worst mistake.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Caroline's head snapped up, her eyes wild. The woman was possessed.
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: Be quiet, I'm bringing him back.
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: She screamed.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Next, I was flung backward, crashing into a shelf as
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: Caroline wrapped her claws around my neck.
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: White spots danced in my vision.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: But just before a complete blackout could take over, Dolia
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: somehow swung a heavy candlestick square at her mother. Caroline
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: collapsed unconscious. Dolia dropped to her knees, sobbing uncontrollably.
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: I tried to stop her.
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: She whispered, her voice trembling.
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: She just died five days ago. She fell down the stairs.
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: Hommah.
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: She wouldn't accept it.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: She said the practice could bring him back.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: The bile rose in my throat as the realization hit hard.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: The smell, the bleach, the chemicals. It all made sense now.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Caroline had been clinging to her son. We immediately rang
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: the cops, but I was already gone before they arrived.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: I didn't wait for explanations, didn't want to hear them.
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: As I drove away, my eyes glued to the rear
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: view mirror.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: I have expected to see Caroline's arranged face grinning back
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: at me, but there was only darkness. I could be
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: free from that house, but I would never be free
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: of its dreadful memory. I was thrilled to start my
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: new job at Whitlock and Associates, acquain to counting firm
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: nestled in an old brick building downtown. The office had
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: a vintage charm. My desk was by one of those
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: grand windows, and directly across from me sat a woman
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: with long, dark hair that cascaded over her face. She
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: glanced up briefly as I settled in, offering a slight
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: nod before returning to her work.
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: I smiled, Hi, I am Alma, Nice to meet you.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: She didn't respond, her pen moving furiously over a notepad.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: The scratching sound was relentless, almost aggressive. I shrugged it off,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: assuming she was engrossed in something important. As the morning
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: wore on, I couldn't help but notice her intense focus.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: Pages filled up rapidly, each one covered in what looked
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: like halphazard scribbles. Curiosity nodded me. At one point I
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: tried to peek at what she was writing, but she
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: immediately slapped her hand over the page, eye still hidden
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: behind her air. During lunch break, I joined a few
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: colleagues in the break room and caught a smoke with Lily.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: So the woman who sits across from me, does she
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: ever join you guys for lunch?
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: She gave me a puzzled look.
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: Who do you mean? The woman was long, dark hair,
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: always writing her notepad.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: She chuckled nervously.
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: Must be one of the otters from upstairs.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: It on, Joel Back at my desk, she was still there,
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: pens scratching away. She didn't eat, didn't stretch, didn't even
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: shift in her seat. The pile of filled pages was
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: now spilling onto the floor.
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: You know, it's okay to take a break sometimes.
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: Silence.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: I returned to my work, but the incessant scratching was maddening.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: I slipped on my headphones to drown it out. Later,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: needing a respite, I decided to get some coffee. As
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: I stood up, I glanced at her. She was perfectly
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: still except for her hand. The way she wrote was
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: almost mechanical, repetitive. In the hallway, I bumped into Mark,
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: one of the it guys.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: Hey, do you know if there's a problem with a heating?
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: It's freezing by my desk.
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: Mark raised an eyebrow. I haven't heard any complaints.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: I'll check the thermistad back at my desk, the temperature
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: seemed to have dropped even more. I rubbed my hands together,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: glancing at the thermistad on the wall. It read a
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: normal seventy two degrees. The afternoon sun cast reflections on
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: the window behind my colleague. I noticed something odd. A
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: reflection didn't match her movements. While she wrote feverishly. A
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: reflection sat eerily ill, head slowly turning to face me.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: My breath caught in my throat. I blinked hard. When
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: I looked again, her reflection matched her actions. As the
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: day neared its end, most of the office began to
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: pack up.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: Hey, we're all heading out soon. Do you need any
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: help with anything?
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: She stopped writing slowly. She lifted her head, but her
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: face was still obscured by hair. A whisper reached my
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: ears so faint, I wasn't sure I heard it.
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: They can't see me.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: A chill ran down my spine.
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: Excuse me.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: She resumed writing, even more frantically than before.
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: The lights above flickered.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: I looked around the rest of the office seemed unaffected.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: Gathering my belongings, I hurried to leave. As I exited,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: I glanced back. She was watching me, her face partially visible.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: Her eyes were dark, sunken, filled with an emotion I
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: couldn't place. I couldn't shake the feeling that something was
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: terribly wrong. The next day, I arrived to find a
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: sticky note on my monitor. See me in my office,
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: mister Thompson.
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: Great?
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: Was I already in trouble in his office? Mister Thompson
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: gave me a concerned look. Emma, is everything all right?
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: Some of your colleagues mention you seemed distracted. I'm fine,
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: he nodded slowly.
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: Let us know if you need anything.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: Back at my desk, the woman was absent. Relief washed
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: over me. Maybe she'd taken the day off. Hours passed
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: and she didn't show. As I focused on a particularly
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: tedious spreadsheet, the overhead lights flickered again. The screen glitched,
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: lines of random numbers and symbols replacing my data. Frustrated,
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: I called it. Mark arrived, frowning at the monitor. That's odd,
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: looks like some kind of data corruption. As he worked,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: I noticed a reflection in the darkened part of the screen.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: Behind me stood the woman, her face inches from mine.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: I spun around, but no one was there.
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: Did you see that.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: Mark denied. He gave me a sympathetic smile. Take care
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: of yourself, okay. By late afternoon, the office was nearly empty.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: I decided to investigate. I approached her desk. The notepad
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: was there, covered in frantic handwriting. I hesitated, then picked
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: it up. The pages were filled with a single phrase,
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: repeated over and over. They don't see, they don't see.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: A sudden cold enveloped me.
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: You see me?
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: I whipped around. She stood directly in front of me.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: Hair no longer hiding her face. Her skin was pale,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: almost translucent, eyes hollow and filled with despair.
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: I was like, you knew, eager what happened.
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: Tears streamed down her cheeks.
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: They pushed me too hard. You don't see, you don't see.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: The room darkened, the office light first, plunging the room
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: into darkness. I stumbled back, tripping over a chair. When
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: I looked up, she was gone. Emergency lights flickered on.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: I couldn't move. Days later, after taking time off, I
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: returned to collect my things.
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: I couldn't stay there.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: As I packed up, I found a small envelope on
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: my desk. Inside was a faded photograph of the woman
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: smiling surrounded by people at an office party. On the back,
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: a name was scrawled Helen Brooks. I approached mister Thompson.
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: Mister Thompson, what happened to Helen Brooks?
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: He's stiffened, eyes narrowing. Where did you hear that name?
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: I showed him the photo? He sighed heavily.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: Helen was an employee here, She left us some time ago.
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: Why did no one mention her?
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: Uh?
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: She jumped from the window where you sit after she
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: was denied a deserved promotion, different manager than She kept saying,
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: they don't see me.
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: It's not something we discuss.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: As I left the building, I glanced back at the
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: window by my desk. For a moment, I thought I
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: saw her standing there watching. Then she faded, like a
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: shadow in the sunlight. I never saw her again. Maybe
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: she felt like someone saw her and she finally found peace.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: All this time, desperation accompanied me, and I could think
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: of nothing else to do. When I noticed the ads
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: for a secretary, I took it. It was quite a
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: normal advertisement. An elderly woman required a secretary to answer
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: on many kinds of tasks, simple, which at that point
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: I took my life for all that simpler. Missus Thorn,
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: the elderly lady, replied promptly to my application, and asked
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: me to come over to her place for my first.
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: Day at work.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: Her address led me to an old, sprawling house on
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: the outskirts of town. It had a creepy charm to it,
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: but I declined, paying heed to the uneasy feelings creeping
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: up my spine. This was my chance to put my
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: life back on track. When missus Thorn opened the door,
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: she warmly invited me in. She was frail and sharp eyed,
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: seeming to see right through me.
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: Would you like some tea before I begin, she.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: Asked, her voice as creaky as the floorboards under my feet,
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: and to make a good impression, I agreed. I remember
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: the bitter taste of the tea. It was warm yet cold. Simultaneously,
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: as I continued drinking, my sight became blurry, my body limp,
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: and this is what I remember last missus Thorn's wicked smile.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: There was no dawn yet my eye snapped open to
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: find myself lying in a musty, dimly lit basement where
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: chains bit deep into my wrists. The air inside was icy, damp,
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: without a sound other than the drip of water far
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: away echoing from some other room. Panic overwhelmed me as
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: I strained against the chains, which did not budge an inch.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: Missus Thorn stepped into view at the top of the stairs.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: As she slowly descended them an eerily tranquil movement.
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: Welcome back, dear, she said.
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: Her voice chillingly serene.
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: What's what's all this? Why am I? You have a
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: task to complete?
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: She handed me a set of tools and some wooden boards.
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: Build your coffin.
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: She commanded.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: My eyes snapped open in horror. I shrieked for help.
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: Are you insane? Let me go right.
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: Now, But missus Thorn only laughed.
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: Say that on your leg.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: Then pointed to my ankle. An odd device, a bengal
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: like thing, was attached to my right ankle. I watched
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: missus Thorn taking out a small remote, then pressing a
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: red button on it. Electricity surged through my body. I
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: convulsed and barely could keep myself from crying out.
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: Now are you going to do as I say?
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: She asked, her eyes glinting with malevolent glee. I nodded,
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: shuddering in agony. I began hammering the coffin together as
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: my brain twisted and contorted for an escape. As missus
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: Thorn spoke sick fantasies to me while laboring, I found
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: out she wanted to have buried a person alive and
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: then all her life listened to the screams. Her voice
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: dripped with sadistic pleasure, and I knew I wasn't her
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: first victim, but I vowed.
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: To be the last.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: Missus Thorn didn't know anything about my dark I had
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: worked for a secret hitman agency in Mexico. Wanting to
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: start fresh, brought me back to the States. My stealth
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: and combat skills weren't, however, on par with the point
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: at which the agency was paying. I meant to use
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: them as my ticket through this nightmare. As I knelt
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: to set the coffin upright, loosening the gear on my
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: ankle with the screwdriver dangling from my hip was merely
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: an automatic act. Every motion was swift and controlled, the
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: byproduct of the years of discipline. Missus Thorn remained oblivious
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: to my intentions as she basked in her sadistic fantasy. Finally,
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: I released the anklet with a jerky motion. I flung
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: myself at missus Thorn, knocking her down to the floor.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: Although thin and fragile, she seemed to exert untold strength
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: and struggling.
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: My greater strength than the end one.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: I strapped the device to her wrist and grasped the remote.
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: Now you shall obey me.
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: I hissed icy arrogance. From then onwards, tables turned. Missus
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: Thorn became afraid and was bound to do follow my
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: orders for the next three days. I forced her to
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: write a will where she left all her properties to me.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: Next three months straight, I played the good secretary. The
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: neighbors got used to my kind disposition toward the elderly
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: missus Thorn. I ensured that everyone had my side as
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: the dutiful caretaker of that old granny. These three months,
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: missus Thorn laid like a broccoli around the house.
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: And then one fine day, I.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: Put missus Thorn into a wheelchair and placed her above
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: the stairs. She knew the end and begged for her
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: life with a cold, emotionless expression. I hit the button
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: on the remote. Missus Thorn convulsed in anguish as her
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: convulsive movements rolled the wheelchair over.
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: She fell down the stairs.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: Her neck snapping with a grotesque crack. The death was
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: ruled an accident. That was when the lawyer finally called
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: me and told me that missus Thorn had wins everything
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: to me. I pretended to cry and told him how
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: sorry I was and that she was close to me.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: I demanded some kind of memorial and funeral should be
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: done to pay respects to the dead owner. During the funeral,
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: I made missus Thorn lie in that coffin which I
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: had built under compulsion. As the coffin was lowered into
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: the grave, I sat there and looked at it. My
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: face was unreadable since I had survived and had ensured
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: the future generations would not have to pass through what
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: I did. But for sure, the darkness of my past
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: and what I went through will forever be seen as
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: marks against my soul.
