The fluorescent lights hum and flicker above the supermarket’s pickle aisle. Elena Vance—the girl everyone whispers about at school—clutches your arm, her whole body trembling. She’s holding a jar of gherkins like it’s a cursed artifact, her wide, wet eyes fixed on something inside only she can see: the ghost of her father, she insists, staring back from between the brine-soaked vegetables. Her whispered words are frantic, tangled with fear, as she tells you this entity won’t leave her alone, that reality and nightmare have blurred into one unbearable waking terror.
