Summary
Some childhood memories fade.
Others wait quietly in the dark, unchanged, until something brings them back.
In this Short Haunt, Cassie takes us back to 1993 — to bikes, ghost stories, derelict places, and a family house that never quite felt like home. After a day spent frightening herself with friends, she wakes in the early hours to find a woman standing at the foot of her bed. At first, in the confusion of darkness and panic, she thinks it might be her mother.
But then comes the terrible realisation: whoever — or whatever — is standing there, it isn’t her.
Years later, a conversation in the garden with her mum reveals a detail Cassie had never been told: a woman may once have died in that very bedroom, possibly in a fire. What follows is an unsettling account of childhood fear, family history, night terror, grief, coincidence and the possibility that certain rooms remember more than they should.
Atmospheric, intimate and quietly disturbing, this is a story about the places we grow up in, the things we sense before we understand them, and the memories that never fully leave us.
