“George.” Heather calls sounding like her voice comes from the kitchen that is on the other side of the house, I’m confused that I’m hearing her voice though because I didn’t hear the car pull up or her come through the front door but I was engrossed in the atrocities catalogued in the book so maybe I just didn’t hear her. XXX I’m snapped out of my paralysis after a long couple of minutes when I hear something whisper directly into my ear in a frantic panicked voice of a young girl who only says one word, ‘run’. The whole time I had been reading the book the house had been silent with not even as much as a creak but the second that I finish and close the book the house seems to come alive.
