Horror
Whispers of the Past (Chapter 02)
Maya couldn't help but feel that the walls of the house were closing in on her. The letter she had just read left her gasping, the burden of her mother's secret weighing heavily on her breast. Who was her mother really? And what kind of life had she lived that she had kept hidden for so long?

1. The Too-Good-To-Be-True Deal "The Airbnb listing was perfect: a secluded cabin near New Orleans for $35/night. The host, ‘Claire,’ had one rule: ‘Never open the attic door—it’s unstable.’ I laughed. What harm could a dusty attic do?

The words from the OB's filled everyone's mind, everyone heard or saw them, not one person was left untouched or without understanding, even the very young somehow had a simple understanding of things being different. The proof they offered was irrefutable in every sense of the word. They sent visions of their placing the writings and books, the Ark of the Covenant, the Holy Grail... every great item written about in books of religion was placed at the various capital buildings.

As soon as my mother left the room, I removed the ring and placed it back in my jewelry box. I even took a photo with my phone as proof, because I was doubting myself after seeing it on my finger. I tried to shake off the nightmares and the ring being on my finger as I went to take a shower. I kept having flashes of the shadow staring into my soul as I lay there unable to move in bed. As the water from the shower cascaded down my face, I tried to block the images from repeating in my head... it didn't help. I went down for breakfast, the vision of the shadow figure standing at my bedside, watching me... it continued to linger through my mind constantly.

"The world now appears as if dressed in a new garment..." -- d.t. suzuki I keep asking myself: Who the hell am I? I'm nobody. I'm not special. I didn't ask for this (well, not per se). So why did it happen to me? I still can't explain it.

Then I felt it... the light switch... fear embraced my soul as I slowly moved my fingertip upwards along the switch. There was still no response from my mother as I continued to call for her while my fingertip hesitated to complete the light switch flip.

It's still a struggle for me when I think about how significantly everything changed and the reasons it all happened. For the longest time I spent every day imagining the 'good ol' days' where things were “normal” and life was... “good”. I never realized how conditioned I was, how conditioned everyone was, to the so-called “normal” days of life. When 'The OB's' came, it was a nightmare for the world. The delicate balance of life was shattered and the beliefs of many were completely destroyed. I remember that day like it was yesterday, and for a long time I saw it as the beginning of the end. I now realize it was only the end of what we ‘knew’ and the beginning of truth. The things I remember the most from the 'before' days seem so deprived of reason as I think back on them, but back then, it was what... was.
