Dominick

Before Sean arrived, I made a trip to the secret basement and felt even more confused. The mirrors I remembered around the room weren’t there, there wasn’t a hook to hang someone up in the middle of the room and the chaise loungers where I thought I saw the sheriff and the other old man were missing.

There were no peculiar smells, only the smell of mothballs and a hint of something flowery. No broken glass from where I thought I fucked Anna against the wall. There wasn’t a speck of blood to be found. Everything looked spotless. Gazing around, all I saw were boxes that held old books, knickknacks, and extra hotel supplies. There were even boxes of ingredients for Anna’s boutique.

“What the fuck is going on?” My voice bounced off the boxes, but none of them answered me.

After walking around for a second time, I gave up and went back up the stairs and back to my room. I paced, trying to recount what happened last night. I remembered dinner, nothing out of the ordinary. Then I had a nightcap and kicked back in bed.

I don’t remember when I fell asleep, but I know a loud clap of thunder woke me. I had been dreaming about a small sex party featuring Anna and another woman. Maybe that was all it was. Simply a dream?

My stomach grumbled loudly, and I knew I needed some food, so I made my way to the kitchen and found Sean sitting there.

Why is he here?

“Dom!” He stood up and came over. “Are you okay?”

The phone call. I must’ve sounded like a drunkard.

“I don’t know what I am right now.” My hand came up and rubbed my furrowed brows. “I think maybe I was wrong. It was a dream”

“Wrong about?” he pulled me towards the table.

I took a seat and waited for him to do the same before I looked him in the eyes. “About seeing that girl.” Looking around the kitchen, I didn’t see Anna. “Where’s Anna?”

“Anna?” He looked at me, confused. “OH! You mean the owner?”

“Yeah.” I nodded and got up to look down the hall into the front room.

“Dom. Sit down. I need you to make sense.” The firmness in his voice told me he might lose his temper soon.

I went back to the table. “Where did you see her?”

“She was cleaning up the lawn outside, escorted me in and then went looking for you.” His nostrils flared. “So did you, or didn’t you, see her?” He held his hands out frustratedly.

“No, I haven’t seen her.” I shook my head.

“Concentrate. Dominick.” He growled. “I’m not talking about fucking Anna.”

“What?” I sat back in the chair. “Who are you talking about?”

“The missing girl you think you saw.”

With a shake of my head, I looked at him. “I don’t know.”

“What do you mean, you don’t know?” He grabbed my arms to get my full attention. “You’re still not making any sense.”

“I think it was a dream.” I nodded.

He growled at me and his fingers dug into my skin.
