The woman left and the boy went back into the house with the envelope. He went to the dining room and set on it on the table. The boy all of a sudden needed a drink and he went into the kitchen and there was a bird sitting at the window above the sink. They just looked at each other. He got his glass of water and drank. He then went back to dining room and picked the envelope back up and opened it. In the envelope were a few seeds and a short note saying that he should go out the front door and throw the seeds at the attic window and then wait a few days before going back to the attic. The boy was not sure what to do, but the paper seemed to be just falling apart in his hands. He did throw the seeds up at the attic window and then he crossed his fingers hoping he made the right decision. What will the spirit think? There was a stone and now seeds of some kind. What do they mean?

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.

Birds are such significant omens sometimes.

A mystery. Does it ever get solved?
