A helpless sight
On the fringes of their own home, Erika and Mark felt overwhelmed by a deep sense of helplessness as they watched strangers walk freely around the property, pointing and speculating about the sinkhole. Every muttered comment and curious glance felt like an invasion, leaving them exposed and vulnerable in the one place where they should have felt safe. The commotion outside was a constant reminder of how surreal and out of control the situation had become.

Mark and Erika, determined to remain silent, refused to answer, but the incessant knocking and shouting only intensified the suffocating tension that already dominated the interior of the house.
