Synopsis: "Richard and Anna are house hunting, and surely the rotten, moldy odor in this one is enough to send them away without a second glance. Tracking the odor, Richard discovers a bag of rotten potatoes left in the kitchen—at least it looks like a bag of rotten potatoes. When he starts to point it out to his wife, whom he saw just a moment before, he discovers her elsewhere in the house, staring out a window and apparently lost in thought. For no reason that Richard can determine, she's now convinced that this is the ideal home. The potatoes disappear. Richard assumes the real estate agent has stashed them somewhere. After they move in, there are more and more strange happenings, and Anna takes up meditating most of the time. Richard finds plausible explanations for everything. For a while. What is the dark, shadowy thing that keeps appearing? Why doesn't Anna notice it? Why does the moldy scent linger on, even after extensive cleaning and remodeling? Why is Richard the only one who notices? And where are all the neighbors?"—Janice Clark
