The letter’s stark message sent a jolt of alarm through her. It was as if a cold hand had reached out and gripped her heart. The words, so clearly printed on the page, felt like a deliberate act.

Later, she sat in her rocking chair, clutching a worn teddy bear. The shadows in the room seemed to lengthen and dance, twisting into shapes that sent chills down her spine.
