Testing the Gray House
My name is Zhou Jiu, and I’m a professional haunted-house test sleeper.
Tonight, the company assigned me a new job: the old house where my entire family burned to death fifteen years ago.
But that house had long since been reduced to a barren wasteland.
I returned with a black-and-white photograph of the fire scene.
In the shadows of that photo, a person who looked exactly like me was already waiting at the door.
