It's fine.
I'm outside.
Just open up.
Eric whispered, nope, as if saying it could keep the world stable.
The voice paused.
Then it said, Nora, tell him.
It's cold.
Nora's face changed in a way I'll never forget.
It wasn't just fear.
It was the look of someone whose name has been used without permission, like a hand on the back of her neck.
She whispered, barely audible, don't.
The voice outside made a sound that might have been a laugh, but it didn't have humor in it.
It was a short exhale with a click at the end, like teeth.
Then very quietly it said, Okay.
And it walked away.
We sat in candlelight for a long time afterward, not speaking.
At some point, the power came back on by itself, with another sharp flicker.
The timing felt wrong.
Outages happened.
But they don't usually last exactly as long as a strange visit.
