The Sunday Girls (2013)
“At first I thought the commotion was some sort of dream – a fantasy of muffled and anxious voices that somehow were distorted and amplified in my head. They weren’t loud – more like stage whispers – which I think made the conversation more sinister to my ears. I certainly felt there was something malevolent in the hoarseness of the voice. Something, I’m not sure what, filled me with a dreadful fear. There was a nagging feeling of foreboding even before the words penetrated my brain.
Wiping slee...p from my eyes, I slipped out of bed and opened the door of the small bedroom. My rough, flannelette nightgown flapped around my ankles, impeding my progress, and I felt the coolness from the linoleum floor against my feet. I could make out Granny’s voice but the other person’s whispers sounded strange – probably because they were punctuated with harsh sobs. Because the voice sounded unfamiliar, it came as a great surprise to see Rita, our neighbour, standing at the open door.
