I am struggling to understand which perspective this story is being told from. Also, is the person Mr. Wilson speaking to a former resident of the house (now a ghost)?
The story is told from the perspective(s) of Hughie Barrow, the son of Mr and Mrs Barrow. Hughie killed Mrs Barrow and set the house on fire (because he was being physically abused). That said, there are, in a way, three Hughie Barrows: the dead Hughie (who provides the "objective" narration and who is outside time, perhaps in Hell); the Hughie Barrow currently experiencing the killing of his mother and the burning of Barrow House; and the ghost of Hughie Barrow, who is being communicated with by Mr Wilson. Given that the perspectives all belong to Hughie, they sometimes echo within each other, bleed through or blend together, i.e. it's meant to be a bit confusing.

And are "they" us (the masses/normal people)?

You...wow. Thank you for explaining. Most stories I am able to grasp, this one I would never have gotten without your comment.
I really really like you work, reminds me of Scott Base's Bad space comics. Your concepts and story lines are super unique, different, and creative.
