He held her gaze for a moment, then sighed. “I’ve got to go, Ely.” He returned to the house, leaving her alone in the backyard.

Soon, the wind reassured her, then tugged at her hair.

Elysia stared at the dead bird. It couldn’t be soon enough.

She hurried inside. Maybe she would watch some TV—and turn up the volume. Anything to drown out the whispers.

Doug’s overstuffed couch and the drone of the TV were a deadly combination. Elysia couldn’t keep her eyes open. She had gotten little sleep the past two nights, and now it caught up with her. The buzz of the TV faded into the background.

Dreams of surreal landscapes and sibilant whispers plagued her. It wasn’t the dim red landscape of her recurring dream, but it had a similar feel. She soon found herself running, trying to escape a whispering pursuer.

Darting across a street of red cobblestone, she stepped beneath a wrought-iron arch and found a sprawling cemetery. Leafless trees and ancient headstones dotted the rolling hills that stretched as far as she could see.

To most, a cemetery was a place to be avoided. It was a place of horrors and nightmares. To Elysia, it represented peace and rest. A respite from pain and tension. But not tonight.

She reached out, but all the graves were empty. Gaping holes in front of the weathered tombstones bore witness to the theft of the dead.

The whispers drew closer, crowding behind her just outside the iron arch. She stumbled forward. The thief hadn’t taken everything. Something still remained. Something that called to her. Her solace. Her savior.

Empty graves stretched for miles, and it seemed she had walked everyone of them, searching each empty hole.

Elysia. The whisper was right behind her. She whirled, expecting a nightmare, and found… nothing. Darkness had swallowed the empty cemetery she had just crossed.
