ERIC

The attic only had two small, filthy windows that faced the front of the house, so I came down to my bedroom and watched through the round window as Elinor and Allan walked up the drive. The moonlight made his bleached hair gleam like a giant white orb. Allan leaned close to her and whispered something in her ear, and she threw her head back and laughed with abandon, her brown locks rippling down her back. I balled my hands into fists.

They disappeared under the porch, and I listened for the creak of the front door opening, but it didn’t come. Of course, they were on a date. They were doing the kinds of things people on a date did on the front porch.

Allan, you bastard.

A deep rage rose up from within me, and heat coursed through my body. I lashed out with my foot, flinging a wild kick at the trunk at the foot of my old bed, desperate to let my frustration out. My foot hit the side of the trunk, sending a shooting pain up the side of my leg.

“Ow,” I grabbed for my foot, my eyes watering from the pain of the impact. I hopped on the floor while I gripped my throbbing toes, my good foot disappearing a few inches into the floorboards each time.

Hang on a second …

I stared down at my throbbing foot. It really had happened. I’d kicked the trunk, and it had felt solid.

I took a cautious step toward the trunk, reached out with my fingers. My hand passed right through it, as though it wasn’t really there. Although, of course, I was the one who wasn’t really there.

So how come I felt my foot connect with the box? How come my toes were throbbing? The pain felt as real as anything I could remember. The only other thing that had felt as real to me was Elinor—

What was happening to me? Was I a ghost or wasn’t I?

I wound my foot back, pulling my thigh up toward my chest. Then, releasing all of my might, I flung my leg out at the trunk. I cried out as I sailed straight through the wood, toppling over myself and landing with my head through the ceiling of the room below.

Rage bubbled up inside of me. Why did I keep getting close to something real, only to have it torn away again? Why did this stupid ability to feel objects and people keep coming and going? Why didn’t I have any control over it?

You’re getting all emotional, Eric. I scolded myself. Approach this like Elinor would, with common sense. Use all that air between your ears and think. What happened differently all the times you managed to move something?

I ticked them off in my mind. I twisted the lock in the door. Elinor touched me and I lifted the cup. I kicked the chest. Elinor and I ...

I couldn’t see any common element between the events, apart from the fact they all happened to me and they had all occurred since Elinor arrived in the house.
