A blade of moonlight cuts across the floorboards, setting adrift a thousand specks of dust in the still air. The bedroom door hangs open, a void of deeper shadow.

A profound silence collapses over the room, heavy as a woolen blanket, and a cold draft settles beside the mattress. A whisper, brittle and paper-dry, winds its way out of the dark.
