The House With No Sunlight
!TW! Implied miscarriage, kidnapping
Eloise looked at the children surrounding her in the house with no sun. It was a pretty home with wood floors and blue walls, the floors were cold and and the ceiling would dip down eventually but for now they were safe. These children were to be raised here and would not leave. They would never miss the light, how could they miss something they couldn’t remember. She was going to make a family where no one could hurt them, no one could take her precious babies away,
they were all hers now.
After all how could their old parents be so irresponsible, how could they leave these sweet babes alone. All by themselves, outside! She would be a much better mother than they ever would. She deserved to be a mother, especially with how cruelly god had treated her. If the heavens wouldn’t let her keep her children then she would take—rescue she reminded herself—children that were obviously not cared about as much as they should’ve been.
Eloise bobbled around the house checking on children and preparing food. She checked the locks one the doors once more, after all safety for all of them was of the utmost importance. The door shifted slightly under the pressure as she pulled and pushed on it.
As the timer on the counter began to howl with as it ran out she turned it off and reset it for the next dish for the next meal.
Eloise of course knew that the house would collapse eventually, with the weight and no doubt limited maintenance. That at some point the walls would fade and the floors would become scuffed. Or at least she used to know that, vaguely. But for know the house with no sun would house her family and by the time it collapses the children will be long grown and her rights will have been fulfilled as deserved.
