I had returned home to lay my mother to rest and settle her estate. To do this most efficiently, I devised a simple plan I would stick to.
Get in. Get out.
It sounded simple enough, but before leaving home, I had been the prime suspect in the murder investigation of a girl at my high school. While I may have been cleared, that didn’t mean I wasn’t guilty. That town had terrorized me for ten years.
Standing on the front porch of the house where I grew up, I took a moment to prepare myself for what lay ahead. I drew a deep breath as I eyed the neighborhood and wondered if anyone would dare to repeat the past.
By the time I caught sight of the shadowy figure standing by the hedge, saw the person run past my basement, or noticed the man watching my bedroom window, I had my answer.
While my mother had believed the terror ended the day I left home, I wasn’t foolish enough to buy into that. Nightmares don’t disappear. They simply wait for you to crawl back into bed.
