“Molly!” I hiss, tapping on her bedroom window again. “Molly, wake up!”

I wait, but there's no reply. Realizing that simple tapping isn't going to be enough, I start banging with my knuckles. I know she's a heavy sleeper, but she isn't answering her phone so I need some other way to get her attention.

“For God's sake, Molly,” I mutter, “how -”

Suddenly her drapes are pulled open, and I see a face staring out from her darkened room. It takes a moment, but with a sense of shock I quickly realize that the face isn't Molly's at all. It's an older girl, maybe eighteen or even twenty, and she's not looking directly at me. Instead, she glances around for a moment, as if she can't work out what caused the noise, and then she steps back and closes the drapes again.

I pause.

“Molly?” I whisper finally, before knocking on the window again.

A moment later, the strange girl appears once more, and this time she slides the window open and leans out.

“Hey,” I say, “can you -”

“Whichever one of you assholes is trying to bug me,” she calls out, still not making eye contact with me, “you can just cut it out, okay? I'm not interested! Go to hell!”

With that, she leans back in and slides the window shut. I'm left staring in shock, trying to work out what just happened. Molly doesn't have a sister, and I'm pretty damn sure she'd have mentioned it if her parents had sold the house, which means -

“It's not my room anymore,” Molly says suddenly.

Turning, I see that she's standing nearby, barely visible in the darkness.

“What do you mean?” I ask cautiously, stepping toward her. “Since when is it not your room?”

“I don't think I live here anymore,” she continues, her eyes filled with fear. “Bonnie, I know this is going to sound crazy, but I think I've figured out what's wrong. I think maybe I'm dead.”
