I Found the Part They Never Meant Me to See
When people are sloppy, they leave trails.
My job is following trails.
I started documenting everything.
- Damage to the floors.
- Stains, scratches, holes in drywall.
- Unpaid utility notices addressed to me.

Then I found the folder.
Tucked under a stack of junk in my sister’s husband’s “office.”
A manila folder labeled: House Project.
Inside were printouts about adverse possession.
Squatters’ rights.
Highlighted sections. Notes in handwriting I recognized.
They weren’t just freeloading.
They were planning.
Planning to turn my generosity into ownership.
Planning to claim residency, establish “control,” and box me out of my own property.

Every note.
Every highlighted line.

Not to scream.
Not to beg.
To execute.
