La Casa Tomada
Book •
"House Taken Over" tells the story of two siblings, Irene and her brother (the narrator), who live together in their ancestral home.
Their peaceful, routine existence is gradually disrupted when unknown entities begin to take over parts of the house.
As the unseen presence expands, the siblings retreat further and further, abandoning rooms and cherished possessions.
The story explores themes of displacement, loss, and the insidious nature of fear.
The siblings' passive acceptance of their situation reflects a broader commentary on societal complacency in the face of encroaching threats.
The abrupt and unexplained ending leaves a lingering sense of unease and questions the nature of the forces that drive people from their homes.
