Hoard

Maria’s last day of school. As she arrives home, at the top stairs, waiting, are two bare feet. A tall odd man, a stranger who has a familiar scent of trauma, a childhood pain. His name is Michael and he has come to stay. The following days are slow and strange, full of leavings and returnings. A homecoming. The two become intertwined. Michael with Maria, Maria with the past. But for Maria the Hoardings have just begun. Nighttime becomes hers once more, rowing in it endlessly, finding new objects to treasure. Maria descends into madness.
