The sun was setting over the small town of Oakwood, casting a shadow of darkness over the Carter’s home as Emily sat in her bedroom, staring at the old dusty book that she had found in the attic.
She had been rummaging through the old trunks and boxes, searching for anything that her mother may have left behind when she died five years ago.
Anything to remember her by.
Anything to make her feel closer to her.
And then she had found this book.
It was old.
The leather binding cracked and faded with age.
The yellowed pages were written in a code that she couldn’t decipher, and yet, she felt drawn to the book.
Opening the cover, she gently ran her fingers over the words, feeling her mother’s presence around her once again.
Standing, she walked over to her bedside table, and carefully placed the book down on the table before gently running her fingers over the cover.
"Mom?"
She whispered softly into the stillness of her room.
"What did you write in here?"
Flicking through the pages, she traced her fingers over the black scrawl, feeling something rise up inside of her.
