the landlady

Billy Weaver went to bath, an unknown city from his knowledge . he wants to find a place to stay and has been debating weather "bed and breakfast" or
he came across a boarding house and got pulled in (more like manipulated) and "decided "to stay there
he was welcomed by an old lady she seem weird to him but didn't pay attention it, after all, he did need a place to stay and the rent was surprisingly cheap even though the place looked very cozy and a place that would be very expensive.
when the lady was showing him around the house, she talked to him in a specific type of way, like saying things like "dear" complementing him often and looking him up and down these things made him uncomfortable but he knew he wouldn't find a place as good as this?
while going downstairs to sign the visitor book he saw that this place has only had 2 visitor (not including him) he remembered them from a newspaper which really freaked him out the lady had told him it was nothing to worry but this whole thing still feels wrong from him.
after a bit of staying there, he finally realizes that something bad will happen to him but the bad part is, he already drank the tea she gave him
