Compulsion

"Teddy, where did you get that map?" Mo asked me.

I looked down at the dirty counter.

"You found it in the house, didn't you?"

I nodded. I felt like a schoolboy that just got caught doing something naughty.

"Teddy, there's no reason for you to go out there. I don't know why that map was in the house but I'm telling you there's nothing out there."

"Mo, I can't tell you everything, but there is something going on with that house. It's compelling me. I don't think I could stop it even if I wanted to, which I don't."
