Child of the Storm
“There was a ghost to bind. She sat at the table, placing the spirit box in front of her. She set the bit of moss-bound stone beside it on one side, and the piece of chalk on the other. As she mulled over what to do next, it struck her that there should be three things in the box. Three was a better number if you were binding. But as hard as she thought about what else could go in that represented the ghost, nothing offered itself up. So she found her drawing paper and her pencil and she began t...o draw the teacher. She drew up the clearest memory of that day in the old school—a powerful memory, though not so very clear in the details. Without details, the feelings of that day had to guide her hand, and she dredged up those feelings and fashioned a face around them with exquisite care over every hate filled line in that memory from long ago.
The night was so quiet and the room so still that she could hear something moving about outside. The work of drawing the teacher brought on a strange chill, and she brought out the picturous quilt and draped it over her shoulders, protecting herself.MoreLess
