The Floor Above

After ten years of silence, a letter arrives
from a friend long presumed dead.

The letter is brief. The request, urgent.
Something is terribly wrong.

Tom travels to Baltimore to find
Arthur Barker living in a lonely old
house at the end of a tree-lined street.
Arthur is changed—pale, nervous,
haunted by something above him.

For there is a door at the head of
the stairs—bolted, forbidden, and
never to be opened.

Night after night comes the sound
of footsteps on the floor above.
Night after night the boundary
between sanity and dread begins to
crack and splinter.

Some secrets are buried for a reason.
Some doors should remain closed.

And some places are not for the
living to understand.
