Notes: It's a really short post. The responses will be longer.

Madison, unlike most of the other tenants in building hadn't read the Landlord's post yet, though the police cars and tape didn't go unnoticed by her. Her aunt and uncle didn't care for it and even discussed the possibility of moving. Given their money issues, the topic didn't stay on the table for long. She wouldn't have wanted to leave anyway, there was something about this place she was drawn to, even if the landlord creeped her out immensely.

Returning home from school, she opened their apartment door to her dear sweet little Rex jumping up and down for her...then taking off like a shot away. "Rex!" she cried, racing after him.

She barely sat down before the next one. This one was much different than the first two. The pure happiness the girl felt was so strong, the undertone of loss and pain following. When the girl played dress up, Madison could feel the fabrics swishing around her, and it made her smile, but the tears beginning to form happened not long after.

It was only after listening to the Landlord's post that she realized what was happening.

Memories. Memories that were not hers. Some girl in the building, the poor thing, unwittingly shared her personal moment with a complete stranger. So did the others. She felt sorry and worried. If this girl's memory was being leeched and shared, then what about herself?
