A clock ticked somewhere. Then, from the kitchen, a voice like rustling leaves answered.

The basement had a garden that grew in the dark, where mushrooms sang harmonies if you watered them just right. And the clock in the hallway—the one that had ticked when she entered—wasn’t measuring time. It was measuring loneliness.
