Needle Rain
“There had been dreams drifting through her head but she couldn’t recall much of them. Nothing that made sense. Her body ached everywhere. Had she been ill? When she remembered how to open her eyes, she found herself in a large bedroom. Heavy blue-and-white patterned curtains were pulled partway across the floor-to-ceiling windows. Sunlight slanted in long stripes along one wall.
A black spider hung from the ceiling, roping itself up and down on a strand of web. Sound waned and waxed in her ...ears and a bitter odor taunted her as if something odd that she couldn’t quite identify had recently been inside the room. She drifted off to sleep wondering where she was.
When next she awoke the blue-and-white curtains had been drawn back and she could see the nether end of a dragon gargoyle at the corner of the balcony. This place was her uncle’s and the bedroom one she had stayed in many times. A maidservant entered the room and gasped.
“Oh, my!MoreLess
