premonition

“I always feel people become more themselves when they’re in their house,” Reinsve tells me on a cloudless autumn morning at Hollyhock House, Frank Lloyd Wright’s 1921 premonition of California modernism.

On the day they finally got him, Mercedes said her husband must have felt “a premonition” because he left his keys and phone in the family car.

The only explanation for these outrageously violent deaths was the theory that they had escaped their fate thanks to a harrowing premonition.

There are almost no conversations, only premonitions and plans delivered in bullet-points like a group research project.

I glanced over to find the mother staring into the abyss of the fridge, experiencing some premonition of what grim fate was about to befall her daughter.
