EXAMPLES:

THE LAST MESSAGE

When Emily heard the phone buzz with a text from her husband, she smiled—until she remembered she was standing over his grave and the message read, “I’m still waiting for you to come home.”

THE REFLECTION

Anna wiped the fog from her bathroom mirror and saw herself smiling back, even though she hadn’t moved a muscle.

THE VOICE IN THE WALLS

Each night the whispers told Mark what to do, and tonight they finally told him it was time to answer the knock coming from inside the drywall.

THE BABY MONITOR

The baby giggled through the monitor downstairs, but when Sarah went to check, the crib was empty and the laughter came from behind her.

THE FAMILY PHOTO

After developing an old roll of film, Marcus saw himself standing in the background of every photo—smiling, though the pictures were taken years before he was born.
