The Dollhouse Murders (1983)
““I’ve Never Been So Scared in My Life”
Amy’s notebook and English textbook were in the kitchen where she’d dropped them when she came home. She grabbed them and went back upstairs to her bedroom. Aunt Clare went into the parlor to watch television on the little portable set she’d brought with her from Chicago. They didn’t look at each other as they passed in the hall at the foot of the stairs.
The bedroom felt chilly and impersonal. Amy dropped her schoolbooks on the bed and wandered around, th...inking about her cozy bedroom at home, the bureau and desk tops covered with pictures and crystal bottles, the walls bright with posters, snapshots, and pennants. The shelves of books and miniatures. The friendly clutter. There was nothing in this room to remind her of home except Louann’s vase, standing on top of the bureau. Amy picked it up and ran a finger over the lacquered roses. She would have given anything to see Louann sitting at the foot of her bed right now.
I’m scared, she thought.MoreLess
