The house was empty. He knew the family's schedule better than his own but he'd checked anyway. They didn't know it but the walls were evil, the kind you couldn't exorcise or pray away. He'd burn the whole thing down. They wouldn't thank him but it wasn't about the praise.
This one's a little dark. I'm curious, do you think the guy's crazy or does he know something most people don't? The way the story was written it could really go either way. Maybe he sees things that can't be explained, maybe he needs psychiatric help. Either way, feel free to drop your opinion in the comments.
This story's random word was 'burn'.
