“My older sister was mentally ill. Or in less delicate words, she was crazy.” Ethan’s unstable older sister disappeared when he was twelve, after years of dragging him through a tumultuous childhood. No traces. No conclusions. No clues as to where she could have gone. Years later, Ethan resolves to find her, travelling back to his childhood home in search of her. But what Ethan finds in that house sheds light on the many mysteries of his childhood. Perhaps Ethan’s sister was never “crazy”. Perhaps her sudden outbursts – packing their bags and dragging them out of the house – were actually her attempts to run. Perhaps... Ethan was the reason she always failed. "Diane" is a short horror story I wrote for fun. I hope you enjoy reading it!
