Bethany

The window is open again. This is the second night in a row you've woken up to find the window in your apartment's bedroom wide open. The curtains are even pushed back this time. You know you shut it last night. You go to work but all day it bothers you. You live on the fifth floor. There is no fire escape on that side of the building. There seems to be no explanation. After you get home you try to cook dinner but then you hear it. A sweet, faint voice singing something loud enough for you to hear but not at a volume you can understand the words. You're out of you apartment before you realize it You cross the street. You enter the graveyard. You follow along to the singing until you reach a marble mausoleum with a grimey surface and vines covering it. There's no inscription. You enter. The casket is open and she's climbing out. Beautiful. Seductive Deadly. You're frozen in place.
