The Shadow That Knows My Name
I was ten years old the first time I realized shadows could whisper. It was late October, a week before Halloween, and the days were growing shorter. I was sitting in my room, hunched over a comic book, when I noticed the shadow on the wall was… wrong.

The Light in Room 6B
Mara liked the quiet of the old brick apartment building. The rent was reasonable, the walls were thick enough to muffle the occasional late-night arguments, and the courtyard held the faint perfume of lilacs in spring.
