The house on Alder Street had been empty for eleven years, but every night, one window still turned on.
The upstairs bedroom. Second from the left. Glowing warm and yellow from 9:03 to 9:17. Fourteen minutes exactly. People in town had explanations for it, because people always do. Lena Ortiz knew better. She knew because her father had died in that house, and before he died, he had told her never to go near the upstairs bedroom after dark.
At the time, Lena was nine.
She thought he meant ghosts.
And that is only the beginning.
