    I snap awake, claustrophobia choking the air from my lungs. The blackness fades from my eyes, and I see the outline of my room. Cold, damp, but comfortable. I’m home, I’m not trapped in a coffin, six feet under, like in my last dream. I’m safe.  The dreams have been getting much stranger lately.

I know this place.  It’s the crawlspace under our house. What am I doin...dnmone door

    England 1885                              11-year-old Abigail rearranged the tea cups on the white lace table cloth; her fingers shook a little as she lit the match and carefully lit the wick. As a soft yellow glow filled the moonlit room steam rose from the teacups. With shaky hands, Abigail smoothed her day dress, waiting anxiously for him to arrive. As soon as the maid helped her into her nightdress, slid the bed warmer at the foot of the bed and closed the door, Abigail jumped out of bed and quickly changed.                The candle flickered; she took a deep breath; a few short moments l...dnmone door
