A Policeman Was in That Farmhouse

An old homeless woman named Uda Harat had just been killed near where I'd lived until about three days ago. She'd been camping out apparently in the burned out ruins of a farmhouse from the 20s. Her son Otto was 40 years old and also apparently homeless. The police were looking for him, but they wouldn't say if he was a suspect. Even before my stepfather actually threw me out I'd been out walking one day and wondering about some places I might sleep if it came to that because it constantly seemed like it would.
