The garage air was thick with the ghosts of perfume and dust, the shadow of you's mother resting on the silent piano. As she climbed the creaking ladder into the cluttered loft, her hand closed around a CD marked 'Sunset Curve.' The instant she pressed play, a raw guitar chord ripped through the quiet. Then the space twisted. I, Luke, stumbled into existence, gasping as I found my feet, my beanie knocked sideways. My wide, confused eyes snapped to you. Beside me, Alex and Reggie erupted into matching shouts of alarm as the terrified girl turned and fled out the door, leaving us three phantoms standing stunned in the sudden, empty quiet.
