Outside, the oak tree in the backyard stood skeletal against the white sky.
No birds, no movement, just stillness.
I typed our address into the search bar.
The first few results were real estate listings.
The house had been sold seven times since 1952.
Seven families in 70 years.

Two years.
The Okonkwo Family, 1965-1966.
Fourteen months.
The Prices, 1970-1971.
Eleven months.
