The Attic

The boy while sitting in the living room and looking out the front window started to think about what he saw from the attic window. He thought what he saw was in his mind, but the more he thought about it it seemed to be too real. He went back up into the attic and went all the way to the end of the room to see if what he saw earlier was still there or was it the same as what was outside the downstairs window. He very slowly lifted the old blind and took a peek. What he saw was the same as what was outside the downstairs window, but with one change. Everything was shrouded in a white mist. The boy decided to touch the window to see what would happen. Nothing for that is when the spirit appeared and told him not to go through the window. He asked why. The spirit told him that if he were to go through the window that he would become like the spirit. He was curious but he went back downstairs and again looked out the living room window.

Just a little while later the boy looked out the window and he saw someone walking up the sidewalk and he went to the door. The woman knocked on the door and the boy answered. Do you live here? The boy answered, Yes. The woman asked if he wandered up to the attic. He answered yes and several times. The woman shared with the boy that she lived in this house a long time ago and she to went up into the attic and peered out the window. The boy told her about the stone and the visits of a spirit. He also shared that he was not afraid to go up there. The woman told him that was good for the spirit is not evil, but quite helpful at times. She also said, but if you touch the window and go through you will become like the spirit. When the spirit told the woman that that was when I knew that this was not the house for me. The woman gave the boy an envelope.
