Deep Dark Fears by Fran Krause for July 17, 2023

Actually sounds reasonable. Just don’t burn the house down.

You know that the ceremony didn’t work if you keep finding pieces of board games that you don’t own.

Just fill up the closet with empty boxes and shove your dirty clothes under the bed and they will be forced to move out.

You might want to wait a few days, first, to see if it looks like you’ll get along with your neighbors. If not, you’ll need all the friends you can get.

You abandon them they vanish or follow anyway.

Nah, they’re here to stay.
