The Promise Beneath the Storm
Sound at night
The old house was sold many years later, but the neighbors still remembered the night the curtains moved.
They always said the strangest part was not the cold touch, not the candle flickering in the darkness, not even the sound that came from an empty room.
The strangest part was that the person who appeared that night had been dead for three months.
My mother never called it a ghost story.
She hated that word.
Whenever someone asked her about that night, she would become quiet for a moment, looking somewhere far beyond the walls around her.
