Robert was re-reading the article when Elaina finally walked in. She immediately picked up that something had changed. Her eyes went from me to Robert, then back to me. “Listen to this…” Robert said and preceded to read the article to Elaina. “Can you believe that someone actually died here?” He asked when he was…
Robert jumped awake and looked directly in my direction. I doubted that he saw me, but I decided to leave his view. I didn’t want to overwhelm him. I needed what I told him to sink in. He looked around confused; like he didn’t know where he was. “What the hell?” He asked out loud….
The spinning stopped and I was in the spiritual realm. My stomach was flipping because I was excited with anticipation about something, but I couldn’t remember what. What was I here to do? Then I heard someone approaching. From the footsteps and steady breathing, I knew it wasn’t just a spirit. This person…
My encounter with Elaina made me desperate. She now had all the ammunition she needed to hurt me; through Robert. Luckily it was close to dawn and Elaina had retreated underground to rest.

“Is that an invitation?” Elaina asked in response to Robert’s question . She was dripping wet as if she had been standing in the rain for a while. I had the impression that she was outside when Annie was here. Did she realize that I was trying to get them back together? “Of course,…

I fed Doreen everything that I needed her to say to Annie. I sat back in my chair, hoping that Annie was not sensitive enough to detect my presence in the room. Doreen seemed very nervous as she waited. “You know this is highly unethical,” she reminded me; her voice sounding slightly angered and unsure….
