Welcome Home, Mariam

Sanchita Mitra

Left with no memory of her disappearance or the events preceding it, Mariam returns to her rural childhood home with her beloved Mother and Father, or at least a couple claiming to be. Once she arrives at their isolated farmhouse, vivid hallucinations start to fill the void left by her total amnesia. Mariam loses hours sleepwalking from one horror to another. Meanwhile, everyone seems eager to welcome Mariam home—from her parents to the neighbors and townspeople who stand on the property line, just watching. They leave flowers and extravagant gifts on the front step. They pry into her family’s affairs, into her rehabilitation. They pretend not to see Mariam deteriorate in front of them.

If this is a haunting, then exhumation will require Mariam to remember who she was before. And once she knocks enough dirt loose, her past self might just claw out of the grave to expose the carnivorous truth underneath the house’s floorboards.
