We bought the country house on a whim, drawn by the allure of nature. It was our chance to escape the city and spend some quality time outdoors. Little did we know, this trip would reveal unsettling truths.

This story happened to my friends in the suburbs of Chicago. They agreed to share their experience. They had been living together for about six years.
