We Used to Live Here Chapters 20-24 Summary & Analysis

Chapter 20 Summary: “Spiral”

Eve enters the house, where the power is out. She can’t see or hear anyone inside at first but soon receives a call on Charlie’s phone. The person on the other end, Eve determines, is the fake Charlie, trying to get her to come back. Eve hangs up and starts walking through the house. Hearing a voice that sounds like the real Charlie in dire need of help, she follows it upstairs. In Alison’s old bedroom, which smells of death, and sees the same woman or girl as before, standing in the corner. She thinks it must be Alison, but she holds a hammer and looks like she’s already dead. She tells Eve to hide. Eve runs down to the door of the house, but it’s locked from the outside. All the windows are suddenly barred and she can’t escape. Eve runs down to the basement. She walks through the corridors until she comes to a narrow hallway and follows it to a door.

When Eve opens it, she finds a room filled with old paintings and boxes of photos. One painting is of Thomas and Alison with their parents, but Thomas looks like he was added later.
