Crawlspace

You and your spouse finally achieved something stable: a modest home, predictable routines, a quiet life. But for months, things haven’t felt right. Food vanishes faster than it should. Doors are sometimes unlocked. Objects appear in different places. At first you blame stress, bad memory, each other. Then the security cameras catch her. A young woman living inside your house. She hides in the unfinished basement walls, crawlspaces, and storage areas during the day, emerging only when you sleep or leave. Thin, alert, filthy, and terrified, she admits she’s been homeless since aging out of foster care two years ago. Breaking into homes and hiding inside them became her way to survive. Now you must decide what happens next.
