Yikes! The basement lights flickered again. Jamie froze, clutching the dusty photo album she’d just found behind an old furnace. Thunder growled overhead, but it wasn’t the storm making her uneasy—it was the whisper she’d just heard: “Leave.” She flipped a page. There, staring back, was her face—young, terrified—in a photo labeled 1972. But Jamie was born in 2001. The floorboards groaned. A cold hand brushed her shoulder. She spun around, heart racing, but no one was there. Then the album snapped shut on its own. She didn’t wait. She ran. Some stories don’t want to be remembered.
