Haunting of Lily Frost (2014)
“Before that he’d always patrolled the fences, barking as people approached the front gate, and sniffing madly under our fence line if we were in the backyard. But then he stopped barking altogether, and even when Dad bought me my cat Jasper, a present after my brother was born, the dog never came near it. Jasper could torment it for hours and it never showed any interest. It was like something changed it, that day when I almost drowned. I think the dog found fear. Even though it hadn’t cared fo...r me at all, the sight of me lying under all that water, not moving, was more than it could deal with.
The night before the old neighbours left, they knocked so lightly on our door, hoping that we wouldn’t hear them, but they could still feel like they’d done the right thing. When Mum and I opened the door, they’d already turned away, ready to leave. Mum invited them in, but they shook their heads, explaining that they had to get going. Then my brother started crying in the nursery; he was still a tiny baby and Mum had rushed off to pick him up.MoreLess
