Real estate is fascinating. The buying and selling of houses. The buying and selling of homes — not just a place you rest your head, but for some, your heart. And then there’s the potentially criminal aspect. Or the callous capitalist aspect.

And then if you contextualize it across genres — real estate horror, real estate sci-fi, real estate in fantasy, what the hell does that look like?

I dunno. You tell me.

Your job this week is to write about real estate.

In some way.

In some fashion.

Make this strange topic interesting in whatever context you find interesting.
