Jason didn\u2019t breathe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Or perhaps he did, but so faintly that for a long, agonizing second, he looked exactly like a statue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I stared down at the screen. The letter \u2018J\u2019 on that burner phone was no longer just a contact initial. It was a knife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat voice, sweetheart?\u201d I asked, though the truth was already heavy in the air, marching right toward me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mason shrank further against the wall, his cracked lips trembling, his knees held tightly to his chest. He looked so thin, with dark circles under his eyes, smelling of old dust, fear, and industrial bleach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDaddy\u2019s,\u201d he whispered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I felt the entire bedroom tilt beneath my feet. \u201cNo,\u201d I said flatly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I wasn\u2019t saying it to Mason. I was saying it to the universe, trying to force the reality to warp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jason let out a hollow, dry laugh. \u201cHe\u2019s confused, Laura. They\u2019ve kept him locked up in the dark for a month. He doesn\u2019t know what he\u2019s saying.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mason burst into a heavier sob, covering his face. \u201cMommy, don\u2019t let him take me back.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That snapped me out of it. The survival instinct that handles a crisis took over. I immediately stepped between my son and Jason, shielding Mason with my own body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDon\u2019t you dare touch him,\u201d I said, my voice dead calm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jason looked at me with an expression of deep shock, as if I<\/em> were the one who had just betrayed him<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This was the man who had slept beside me for thirty-one nights. The man who printed out missing person flyers with me, who held our five-year-old daughter Lucy when she cried, and who whispered to me in the dead of night, \u201cWe\u2019re going to find him, Laura. I promise.\u201d<\/em> All while our son was sitting directly across the street, trapped behind a sheer curtain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Suddenly, Mr. Abernathy appeared in the doorway. He no longer looked like the polite, frail elderly neighbor who quietly watered his hydrangeas at seven in the morning. His face was gray, his hands were shaking uncontrollably, and sweat was pouring down his temples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cJason,\u201d the old man stammered, his voice cracking. \u201cThis went way too far.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hearing my neighbor speak his name in that tone permanently shattered my life into a before and an after.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jason clenched his jaw, his eyes flashing with rage. \u201cShut up.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou told us it would only be for a couple of days,\u201d Mr. Abernathy muttered, shrinking back. \u201cYou said your wife was going to sign the documents and then you\u2019d take him out of town.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The air left my lungs. \u201cSign what, Jason?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jason raised his hands in a defensive gesture. \u201cLaura, listen to me. I was trying to save us. I did it for the family.\u201d \u201cBy kidnapping our own son?!\u201d \u201cIt was temporary!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mason clamped his hands over his ears, trembling. I knelt back down, pulling his small hands away from his face. \u201cLook at me, baby. Mommy\u2019s here. I\u2019m right here. Nobody is ever going to lock you away again.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n He clutched the fabric of my shirt with his thin, bony fingers. \u201cDaddy told me that if I cried, you would sign the papers faster.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Right then, the memory hit me like a physical blow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Three days after Mason vanished, Jason had laid out a thick stack of legal documents on the kitchen table. I was so paralyzed by grief I couldn\u2019t even hold a spoon. He told me it was to \u201cprotect our assets,\u201d to transfer our property into an emergency trust so we could borrow against it to hire private investigators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I had picked up the pen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But Lucy had shouted from the hallway, \u201cMason doesn\u2019t want you to!\u201d<\/em> She had gotten so hysterical she dropped her glass of milk, shattering it on the tile. The pen rolled under the counter. I never signed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jason didn\u2019t speak to me for two whole days after that. Now I finally understood the rage behind his silence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Our home\u2014the house with the slate-blue siding, the wrap-around porch, and the stained-glass window in the entryway\u2014didn\u2019t belong to Jason. It was a sole inheritance from my grandmother. He had been pressuring me to sell it for years. He always muttered that it was too small, too dated, that we belonged in a modern gated subdivision in the suburbs. But I refused to leave. That house held my childhood; it smelled of old pine, summer rain, and Sunday mornings when my kids ran through the yard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jason needed my signature to liquidate it. And he used our son as leverage to get it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Downstairs, Mrs. Clara was screaming that she was going to call the police.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I scooped Mason into my arms. He felt so light. Terrifyingly light. Jason stepped forward to block us, but Mr. Abernathy weakly got in his way\u2014not out of aggression, but with the heavy, broken stance of an old man who could no longer carry his own guilt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cLet her go, Jason,\u201d the neighbor whispered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jason violently shoved him against the drywall. \u201cYou\u2019re going down with me, old man.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n I ran down the stairs, clutching Mason tightly against my chest, the burner phone squeezed in my hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the entryway stood Lucy, flanked by our next-door neighbor, Mariana. My daughter\u2019s eyes were massive, the red crayon still gripped tightly in her small fingers. When she saw Mason, she didn\u2019t scream or cry. She just broke away and sprinted toward him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI told Mommy I saw you!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mason sobbed, burying his face in her shoulder. \u201cI saw you too, Lu.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lucy reached out, touching his cheek with her fingertips to make sure he wasn\u2019t a ghost. \u201cI waved at you real small so Mommy would believe me.\u201d He nodded. \u201cI put my hand on the glass whenever they fell asleep.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n I wanted to fall apart right there on the hardwood floor, but I couldn\u2019t. Not yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mariana was already on the phone with 911, screaming for an ambulance and reporting that the Amber Alert missing child had been located. Another neighbor had rushed out into the street, shouting the news. Front doors across the neighborhood began to swing open. People who had spent a month giving us baked goods and saying \u201cstay strong\u201d were now staring at the yellow house as if they were realizing for the first time that it had windows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jason ran down the stairs, trying to grab my arm. \u201cLaura, don\u2019t say a word to anyone out there until we talk.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n I let out a harsh, broken laugh. \u201cTalk? To the monster who locked his own son across the street?\u201d \u201cI didn\u2019t lock him up! I wasn\u2019t the one guarding him!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mason lifted his head from my shoulder, his voice ringing clear through the quiet house. \u201cYou came every night, Daddy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The silence in the room became absolute. Even Mrs. Clara stopped her theatrical wailing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI heard you downstairs,\u201d Mason said, staring directly at his father. \u201cYou kept telling them Mommy was taking too long. You said Lucy was becoming a problem. You told me if I didn\u2019t stop crying, you were going to bring my sister over next.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jason went entirely pale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I looked down at Lucy. She was gripping Mason\u2019s hand so hard her tiny knuckles were stark white.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNever,\u201d I whispered, the maternal rage solidifying into concrete inside my chest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jason took a step closer, his voice dropping to a desperate plea. \u201cLaura, I owed money. Bad people. Loans sharks from the city. They were going to kill me.\u201d \u201cThen you should have run, Jason. Alone.\u201d \u201cYou don\u2019t understand\u2014\u201d \u201cNo. For the first time in nine years, I finally do.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The red and blue emergency lights began flashing against the white garage door across the street. Two Grand Rapids squad cars screeched to a halt, followed immediately by an ambulance. Paramedics flooded the house, wrapping Mason in a heavy space blanket. Through it all, he refused to let go of my hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A police officer recognized Jason from the initial missing person reports. \u201cSir, we need you to step outside with us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jason\u2019s expression instantly shifted. He put on his practiced, devastated-father routine. \u201cOfficer, my wife is in extreme shock. Please, let me be with my son. I\u2019m his father.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mason let out a blood-curdling shriek\u2014a raw, terrified sound of a hunted animal. That was all the police needed. An officer immediately stepped between Jason and the gurney, his hand resting firmly on his utility belt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cStep back, sir. Now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jason tried to argue, but Mariana stepped forward, holding out the old burner phone. \u201cThe text logs are right here. \u2018J\u2019 is Jason.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mr. Abernathy collapsed onto his entryway bench, burying his face in his weathered hands, sobbing. \u201cI just wanted him to pay off the debt he owed me from the construction contract. I didn\u2019t want this.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mrs. Clara covered her face. \u201cHe told us Laura was having a mental breakdown! He said the boy was safe with us!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n I wanted to hit her. I wanted to tear down their curtains, smash their windows, and burn that yellow house to the ground. But Mason was shaking in my arms. And a mother cannot burn the world down when her child needs her to hold his hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At the hospital, the doctors evaluated him for hours. Dehydration. Severe weight loss. Acute anxiety. Mild contusions. Signs of prolonged confinement.<\/em> Each diagnosis felt like a physical stone being piled onto my chest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A pediatric psychologist sat down with him in the evaluation room. She didn\u2019t force him to talk right away. Instead, she handed him a box of crayons. Mason slowly drew a window, a small bed, a locked door, and a tiny girl pointing from across the street.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWho is she?\u201d the psychologist asked gently. \u201cLucy,\u201d Mason said softly. \u201cShe\u2019s the only one who saw me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lucy, sitting right next to me on the hospital cot, lifted her chin high, as if she had just been awarded a medal of honor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The District Attorney\u2019s office arrived, along with Child Protective Services and the original detectives. They took my statement, Mariana\u2019s, and the confessions of the Abernathys. They logged the burner phone, the restraints, the text logs, and the chains from the stairs into evidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jason was booked that exact night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At first, he denied everything, claiming the neighbors had acted alone out of a personal vendetta. Then he claimed it was a \u201cdesperate financial strategy\u201d to protect our family\u2019s long-term stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Stability.<\/em> Not his son. Not Mason. Stability.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n We discovered later that he had massive sports gambling debts, high-interest payday loans, and a heavily leveraged commercial property in Lansing. He had signed personal guarantees he couldn\u2019t back up. Liquidating my grandmother\u2019s house was his only clean exit. Clean for him; poisonous for us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He had planned the abduction meticulously. The delivery truck from the initial police theory had nothing to do with it. Jason had simply waited for Mason on a side street in Mr. Abernathy\u2019s truck. He told our son that I had been rushed to the hospital and that he needed to hop in the back quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mason trusted him. Because it was his dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That specific detail haunted me more than anything else. There was no boogeyman with candy. There was no stranger in a dark alley. There was just a father using his son\u2019s absolute trust as a weapon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n They threw the helmet on the sidewalk. They unzipped the backpack, leaving his school notebooks to rot in the rain. Jason had even screamed along with me that Thursday afternoon: \u201cMason! Mason!\u201d<\/em> roaring out the name of the child he had just personally hidden away. For weeks, he slept soundly in our bed while my son counted the text alerts from across the street.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I wanted to rip my own skin off for not seeing through it sooner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Our therapist later told me: \u201cThe guilt of a protective mother cannot repair the crime of a calculated abuser.\u201d<\/em> I would nod, but in the dead of night, the questions still clawed at my throat: How did I not know? How did I not cross the street sooner? How did I almost dismiss Lucy\u2019s words as childhood grief?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Our first few months back at home were a quiet war against terror.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mason refused to sleep with his bedroom door closed. He wouldn\u2019t take a shower alone. He couldn\u2019t handle the lights being turned off. If a delivery driver rang our doorbell, he would instantly bolt under the kitchen table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lucy wasn\u2019t doing well either. She spent hours staring out the front window. \u201cWhat if there\u2019s another boy trapped in a different house, Mommy?\u201d I never knew how to answer her perfectly. \u201cWe\u2019ll keep watch together,\u201d I\u2019d tell her. And we did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I changed all the locks, installed a comprehensive security system, and secured permanent protective orders. My mother came up from Kalamazoo with baskets of homemade comfort food\u2014pot roasts, chicken noodle soup, fresh bread, and warm cookies. \u201cChildren keep eating even when the world falls apart, Laura,\u201d she told me gently. She was right. Mason ate in small, hesitant bites, while Lucy sat beside him, watching his plate to make sure nobody tried to take it away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One afternoon, my mother-in-law showed up at the porch, weeping hysterically. \u201cPlease, Laura, let me talk to Jason\u2019s defense lawyers. He\u2019s your husband. Think of the family.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n I stared at her through the screen door. \u201cMason is my son.\u201d I closed the heavy oak door in her face. That was the day I learned that some doors are shut not out of malice, but for absolute survival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The legal battle was long, grueling, and deeply public. Jason\u2019s defense team tried to paint me as emotionally unstable, claiming my grief had made me paranoid and that he had only acted to \u201cprotect\u201d our assets from my poor decision-making. His lawyers spoke of parental rights, custody visitation, and marital reconciliation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The judge ordered Mason\u2019s testimony to be taken in a child-friendly, secure setting. My son never had to look his father in the eye. He spoke to a specialist, drawing the yellow house, the window, and Lucy with her red crayon. When they asked who had put him in that room, he said plainly, \u201cMy dad.\u201d He didn\u2019t cry when he said it. That broke me more\u2014as if he had simply run out of tears at eight years old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jason\u2019s parental rights were terminated completely upon his conviction. The sentencing order listed every felony charge the state could levy: kidnapping, child endangerment, domestic abuse, extortion, and criminal fraud. But no legal terminology could ever properly name what he did: a father turned his boy into a hostage to steal a piece of real estate from his wife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Abernathys were sentenced as accomplices. The yellow house across the street was seized and boarded up by the state. Every time I opened my front door, I had to look at it\u2014silent, dark, a physical monument to a lie that could no longer speak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One afternoon, Mason asked me to walk across the street with him. \u201cI just want to look at it from the sidewalk,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We went with his therapist. Lucy tagged along, holding her brother\u2019s hand tightly. Mason stood right in front of the locked iron gate, tilting his head up toward the second-floor window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThat\u2019s where I counted the days,\u201d he said quietly. \u201cHow, baby?\u201d \u201cI made scratches on the drywall behind the bed. But Mr. Abernathy painted over them before you came.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lucy squeezed his fingers. \u201cI saw you, though.\u201d Mason looked down at her. \u201cYeah.\u201d \u201cI saved you.\u201d He nodded seriously. \u201cYou did.\u201d Lucy took a deep breath. \u201cThen you owe me your favorite snacks for the rest of your life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mason let out a tiny, soft laugh. It was a small sound, barely there, but to my ears, it sounded like running water after a devastating forest fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We left Grand Rapids a few months later. I sold the house\u2014not because Jason had won, but because my children could never fully heal while staring at the window where the nightmare lived. It broke my heart to say goodbye to the wrap-around porch and my grandmother\u2019s stained glass. But a house also knows when its walls can no longer offer protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We relocated to a quiet lakeside town near Holland, Michigan. A smaller house with a fenced backyard, blooming hydrangeas, and a view of the water where the lighthouse cuts through the fog when the evening sky is clear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mason walked glued to my side at first. Then, as the months bled into a year, he walked a step further away. Then two steps. Lucy still watched the windows of our new neighborhood, but no longer with terror. She proudly tells everyone she wants to be a detective or a behavioral profiler when she grows up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n His blue bicycle stayed locked in the garage for a long time. Nobody touched it. Then, a year after the trial, Mason wheeled it out onto the grass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI want to paint it,\u201d he announced. I felt a brief surge of anxiety. \u201cWhat color, bud?\u201d He thought about it for a long moment. \u201cRed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n We painted it together on the lawn. Lucy ended up with more gloss paint on her arms than on the actual bicycle frame. Mason got annoyed, then he laughed. I sat on the grass with paint-stained hands and let the tears fall where they couldn\u2019t see them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The first time he got back on the pedals was in a closed cul-de-sac. I walked briskly alongside him while Lucy barked out instructions like a drill sergeant: \u201cBrake! Not too fast! Okay, now fast! Watch out for that twig!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Mason advanced ten yards, then slammed on the brakes. He was trembling, staring down at the handlebars. \u201cMommy, I can\u2019t do it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n I knelt down beside the wheel. \u201cYou can, Mason. But you don\u2019t have to do it today. We have all the time in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n He stared at the red frame, then looked straight into my eyes. \u201cDad told me you\u2019d forget about me if I stayed over there too long.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Something inside me fractured all over again. I pulled him into a tight embrace. \u201cMason, I would have spent my entire life searching for you. Every single day.\u201d \u201cEven if everyone told you I was gone?\u201d \u201cEven if the whole world stood in front of me and told me to stop, I would have told them to look again.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lucy wedged herself between us, wrapping her arms around both of our necks. \u201cAnd I would have kept pointing at windows.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The years didn\u2019t completely erase the scars, but they rearranged them. Mason still handles crowded spaces with caution. Lucy still hates tightly closed curtains. And I still get a spike of adrenaline whenever an unfamiliar vehicle idles too long in front of our driveway. We go to family therapy. We use complex clinical words now: trauma response, hypervigilance, emotional repair, boundaries.<\/em> But we also lean heavily on simpler words: sunlight, safety, routine, home.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Jason regularly writes letters from the state penitentiary. At first, I used to open them. They were always filled with the same narrative\u2014he was deeply remorseful, the debts had compromised his sanity, I needed to think about what was best for the children, a father was still a father.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Eventually, I stopped opening them. Not every voice earns the right to echo inside a home. I file them away in a plastic storage bin in the closet\u2014not for emotional keeping, but for the legal record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mason has never asked to read them. Lucy asked me once, \u201cDid Daddy love us?\u201d I took my time answering. I refused to give her a cheap, easy lie. \u201cHe wanted to own us, Lucy. That is not the same thing as loving you well.\u201d She nodded slowly, as if she already understood the difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When Mason turned twelve, he asked if we could take a drive back to Grand Rapids to see his old elementary school. My stomach knotted, but I agreed. The brick schoolhouse looked exactly the same. The playground, the local convenience store on the corner, the kids spilling out of the front gates with heavy backpacks. Mason stood quietly on the sidewalk, staring down at the concrete patch where his helmet had been discarded four years prior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He reached into his bag and pulled out a folded piece of drawing paper. It was his old sketch of the yellow house, the window, and the little girl pointing. At the bottom, he had written a new line:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMy sister saw me when the rest of the world was looking somewhere else.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Lucy, now nine years old, flushed a bright red. \u201cOh, stop it, Mason.\u201d He handed her the paper. \u201cIt\u2019s yours. Keep it.\u201d She threw her arms around him, holding on tight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I looked down the street. For thirty-one days, we had searched miles away. Hospitals. Transit hubs. Wooded lots. State highways. And my son had been right there. Across the street. Behind a sheer curtain. Guarded by people who seemed perfectly normal. Betrayed by the man who was supposed to protect him with his life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And saved by a five-year-old girl whose words I almost didn\u2019t believe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Today, Mason is fifteen. He rides his red bicycle through our lakeside town, always wearing his helmet, even if he complains that it ruins his hair. Lucy still watches the neighborhood windows, but now she says it just makes her an exceptionally good observer of human nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And I am still their mother. Steelier. More guarded. But entirely present. I never ignore a gut feeling anymore. I never let anyone call a mother\u2019s protective instinct an exaggeration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sometimes I still dream of that old neighborhood in Grand Rapids. I\u2019m standing in the pouring rain, watching the sheer curtain move in the second-floor window. But in the dream, I don\u2019t wait a month. I don\u2019t wait a single second. I cross the street immediately, and I kick the door down myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I wake up sweating, my heart racing in the dark. I quietly walk down the hall to Mason\u2019s room, watching the steady rise and fall of his chest as he sleeps. Then I check on Lucy, curled up with her blankets half off the bed, completely safe, the absolute ruler of her own peaceful world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then, I finally breathe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n My son was missing for a month, and I thought my daughter\u2019s words were just a manifestation of childhood grief. They weren\u2019t. It was love looking precisely where the adults had run out of strength to look. And because of that gaze, Mason came home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" My son had been missing for a month when my five-year-old daughter pointed at the yellow house across the street and said, \u201cMason is in there.\u201d I… <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-157","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ustinh.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/157","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ustinh.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ustinh.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ustinh.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ustinh.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=157"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/ustinh.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/157\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":160,"href":"https:\/\/ustinh.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/157\/revisions\/160"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ustinh.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=157"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ustinh.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=157"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ustinh.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=157"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
