For a moment, I stopped breathing.
The moment that I saw the old woman standing behind the TV, I momentarily froze before eventually snapping out of it and taking a step back.
How in the world...!?
'I swear I heard her go up the stairs!'
I was quite certain about what I'd heard. How was this possible?
It made absolutely no sense to me, but at the same time, I knew that this wasn't the time for me to dwell on the situation as I felt the old woman's empty gaze fall on me as she held onto a small candle lamp that flickered across the room.
I slowly pulled the glasses away from my face.
"...So it's the same young man from before."
The old woman's voice was brittle, nearly a whisper, but it was that very fragility that sent a chill crawling up the back of my neck.
Creepy.
It was so damn creepy!
"What do we have here?"
Her gaze eventually lowered towards the photo in my hand.
