Waiting Spirits
“She wrinkled her brow. Why would such a beautiful place be sealed away so deep in Myra’s mind, as if it were the greatest horror of all?
She looked around and flinched when she saw Carrie again. But this was a different Carrie, lively and vibrant, a lovely young girl wearing a frilly dress. She was sitting on a swing under a towering tree. It took Lisa a moment, but she recognized the tree—it was a younger version of one that still stood in what was left of the back yard.
From the house she cou...ld heard the sound of a gramophone playing “Beautiful Dreamer.”
Carrie seemed not to notice her.
Lisa began to walk forward. Following a path that wound through the plantings, she soon passed a fish pond. She shivered and went on.
Ahead of her she could see a white, wooden summerhouse, lacy and latticed. Inside was a large swing. Sitting side by side on the swing were a young man and a beautiful woman. Their gay laughter was like music in the air.
Like Carrie, they did not seem to notice Lisa.MoreLess
