It was no dream, it was no nightmare. It was like a paranormal vision of something he was forced to see, one of many he was used to seeing as a paranormal investigator, of course, and Resi had little choice but to obey. It was his job, he kept telling himself. Ease through the tremors of any ghostly assault. Her screaming inside the distant room was probably not heard by others, only himself. He heard too clearly, and all the Dutch beer from the downstairs bar wouldn’t stop it.
“Help me…please!” the voice kept wailing. Her voice – Laira’s – was invading a vast section of an energized space. She had been so recently a part of the place, yet now she was evanescent energy in a shifting geography of time and space. Resi might as well have been in that room instead of his closetlike own; the wailing kept penetrating the aged paper-thin walls. In the dark his hypersensitive eyes squeezed shut almost automatically with each wail. He was an instrument being played upon.
