Reshaye never complains. When her father strangled her younger sister
and tried to murder her, she didn't complain. She accepted her fate.
When he burned their house down, destroying everything Reshaye loved in
flames hotter than hell, she didn't even cry. She crawled into the
sinkhole that opened in the ground and waited until it was safe to come
out.
What an odd place for a sinkhole, huh?
When her father was arrested, tried for murder, and
sentenced to death, Reshaye didn't complain. Even when her mother
remarried and moved her across the street from the home she grew up in
and almost died in, Reshaye kept quiet. It never helps to whine, does
it?
But somehow, that smoldering ruin across the street wants
Reshaye to complain. She swears it asks her to say something, to scream,
to cry for once. The voice crawls out of that odd sinkhole every night
and finds her in her bed. It finds her anywhere.
Maybe she'll find out more when she visits ...
