The Strangers On Montagu Street
“A narrow strip of gray eked its way through the tall, dark drapes and I lay still, wondering why I wasn’t in my bedroom in my house on Tradd Street. Then I remembered the crumbling foundation and yet another forced evacuation, and I allowed my eyes to flutter closed again. Until I realized that General Lee wasn’t on the pillow next to me, and that the noise I’d heard that must have awakened me was the sound of footsteps outside my door.
I bolted upright, straining to hear anything out of the or...dinary. Not that there was a lot on that list under the “historic Charleston home” heading. If your house didn’t pop, groan, creak, or moan, it just wasn’t old enough. I grabbed my robe from the foot of the bed, then slid my feet into the fluffy slippers and made my way into the darkened hallway.
Nola’s door was open, and when I peeked inside I saw that the room was empty and, fortunately, quiet, with all windows shut. Even the guitar was behaving itself and resting silently in the corner like a guitar should be.MoreLess
