“I’m so lonely,” the girl said, forming her small lips into a child’s pout. “Can I touch you? Can I touch your hair?”

“No!” Lea screamed again, her terror making her voice high and hoarse. “No—please!”

“I won’t hurt you,” the girl said, her arms still outstretched, her face glowing in the dim candlelight, her eyes sparkling like pale jewels.

“No!”

Lea slammed the door shut and, struggling to control her trembling hand, turned the key in the lock.

Then she stood staring at the smooth wood of the door, licking her lips, swallowing hard, her mouth dry, her throat choked with fear, trying to catch her breath.

I never should have pulled off the boards, she thought. I never should have opened that door.

“Please don’t go away,” the tiny voice called from the other side of the locked door, “I’m so lonely. I just want to touch your hair.”

“This can’t be real,” Lea said aloud. She turned and ran to the ladder.

She was awakened the next morning by the wind rattling her twin bedroom windows. The noise startled her awake. She sat straight up in bed. The room felt cold. The morning sky outside the windows was gray and threatening.

Her covers were heaped at the foot of her bed, and Lea realized she must have kicked them off in the night.
