Guiding my car down the long, spiraling private driveway to my father’s ancestral home in upstate New York, I held my breath. I just couldn’t shake the venomous words Debra had spat at me at my father’s funeral. I’d put this moment off for over eighteen months telling myself everything she’d said had been a lie.

But something told me that she wasn’t lying. I had been denying that my father could’ve kept her letters from me long enough. I had a gut feeling that she had been telling the truth. There had been something in her eyes. Maybe it was just the hint of the mother of my past lurking beneath them, but I sensed there was something there worth investigating.

Now, I was about to call upon the ghosts of the past. I was going to throw open my father’s attic and delve deep into its’ depths.

Walking up to the imposing structure, I searched for the antique brass keys. As I opened the massive doors with a loud squeak, I immediately noticed the enormous crystal chandelier decorated with cobwebs. My shoes squeaked on the marble entranceway echoing throughout the mansion. I marveled at how dusty the house had become. It had been well over a year since anyone had entered the home.

Running my fingers across the balustrade as I ascended the spiraling staircase, I felt myself falling back through time. I vividly recalled my childhood racing up these stairs with my father.

As I walked towards my old room, I opened the door. It was just as I had left it when I moved out twenty four years ago. I imagined if I looked beneath the bed I’d find that old train set. Running my hands along the bookshelves, I came upon my old yearbooks. Flipping through the pages quickly, I laughed looking at the pictures of my old friends. I’d been so full of hopes and dreams then. Where had they all gone? Was I living my dreams now just because I’d substantially increased the fortune my father had left to me? Or had greed choked the life out of my real dreams of becoming a firefighter and helping people?

Shaking my head, I replaced the yearbook back on the shelf. Making a mental note to myself to have someone come and box everything up and place it into storage, I made my way to the attic stairway.

I felt the darkness begin to close in all around me. A deep, black depression had me firmly in its’ jaws. I couldn’t shake the feeling of ominous doom. As I climbed the spiraling staircase that reached into my father’s attic, I felt a gnawing sensation in the pit of my stomach.

Walking into the attic, I immediately found myself covered in dust. I brushed the dust from my shirt vigorously. I wondered for the hundredth time if this was such a good idea. Did I really want to know if my father had kept my mother’s letters from me?

The attic was so huge it was a maze.
