This is how you tell a story.
A young mom with 4 kids—including twin boys, one with cerebral palsy, the other with autism and epilepsy—moves into a rental home near Milwaukee.
She’s been evicted twice before, so this, her new home, seems “a dream come true.”
She has no idea of the home’s history.

Around 2008, when I was doing a lot of heroin, men w/smoke bombs & guns came crashing through the door of where I was staying. It was a SWAT raid. And it was terrifying. Since Pecan Park, I’ve been thinking about it a lot. Here’s a thread (and a podcast):
