The air in the attic was stale, heavy with the scent of forgotten things. Emily ran a hand across her forehead, pushing back a strand of hair that had fallen across her face. She opened a box, filled with old toys and trinkets.

A small porcelain doll with one eye missing stared back at her. She felt her chest tighten, a knot forming in her stomach. She slammed the lid back on the box.

She paced back and forth, her steps quick and agitated. She felt a burning sensation behind her eyes. She wanted to scream. She kicked a box, the sound echoing through the space.
