A Man Downstairs
by Nicole Lundrigan
Molly Wynters has moved back to her small hometown to care for her ailing father. She is ready to make a fresh start after her divorce, but is haunted by both old events and new realities in her childhood home. What Molly recalls of her young life with her father is full of love and care, even though a violent trauma defined her childhood: she witnessed her mother's murder, and her testimony - "There was a man downstairs" - sent a teenager to prison. This tragic episode is still very much alive in the culture of the town, and the more Molly remembers, the more she fears that what she said on the stand all those years ago might not have been the whole truth.
