The vintage dress, woven from translucent fabric, seemed fused to her body. Intricate floral lace patterns squirmed across the fabric, resembling tentacles or roots. The lace caught moonlight, casting shimmering shadows that writhed across her silhouette. The hem flowed against dusty stairs, which seemed to move beneath it. Her infernally dark, tangled hair fell to her shoulders, glowing faintly under the moon. Strands fell on her face like crawling snakes. Her half-closed eyes were empty, lips whispering sounds that made the air tremble. Behind her, the staircase creaked as if something invisible climbed it. The cracked banister resembled bony fingers. A faded chair at the foot of the stairs seemed soaked in something dark. Withered flowers, like tiny hands, reached out. Fallen leaves moved as if hiding something alive. The air smelled of rot. A chandelier’s weak light cast writhing shadows on peeling wallpaper. She sat motionless, her pale skin almost transparent, as if something lurked beneath. The abandoned estate seemed alive, watching her.
