I believed it.

The sound started three nights later.
I woke up around 2 in the morning.
The station was dark.

Overcast.
The kind of Olympic Peninsula darkness that has actual weight to it.
I couldn't see the far wall of the room.
Something was walking on the roof.

Every sound on it was amplified.

I lay in the cot and listened.
The steps went from the south end to the north end.
Then they stopped.
