Description
Lisa and Erik Travers welcome home their father from an overseas war. Once their father is home, however, tensions grows inside the family as a mystery slowly begins to unwravel. ~~~ Lisa didn't know what woke her up. Most of the time when this happened in the middle of the night, she would check on Erik in his room, then go straight back to bed. But on her way back from her brother's room, she couldn't go back to her room. There was someone in the kitchen. During the daytime, the hallways in the Traver's house were poorly lit since they were away from the windows that faced towards the east and the west. But at night, the hallways, the foyer, every nook and cranny were dark chambers of solitude that were inhospitable to even the faintest spark of light that dared venture into the black corridors of the halls. Even though it was darker than the inside of a tin can at the bottom of a well, Lisa stalked the remaining length of the corridor that led into the kitchen. She stepped quietly and carefully, not sure whether she was right about hearing a noise or a series of noises that seemed to come from the family dining room. But then she heard it. There was someone in the kitchen. ~~~ Like what you read? If you have a few hours to yourself, then you can read it today!
