Litton House

5000 Word Short Story. A modern-day gothic horror. Take a ride with a writer drifting between realities on the dismal coast of Oregon as he tries to finish his novel. Visit Litton house, a three-story, layered monstrosity yielding to the onslaught of time. Writer Sam Becket travels from San Francisco to a cottage on the rocky coast of Oregon, self-isolating to get away from the coffee house fakes and pretenders to finish his latest crime novel. He has two strikes against him when he takes on his new residence. One is a mild case of obsessive-compulsive disorder, the other a fondness for martinis. Robert Farnell, resident of Litton House, may be his third.
