failure at 47! Can you believe it?!” Camille said with wide
eyes.
    “No!” Carrie said faking her surprise. “I’m
so sorry to hear that! Well, that certainly explains why they
forgot. Poor things.” Carrie said shaking her head. “Now I don’t
know what to do. I have to report back the absence to my
supervisor. Regina won’t be able to get another interview.”
    Carrie took a deep breath of sadness and
looked to the Roth’s door again. Her disappointment was showing as
if she was blasting it thru the corridor. Camille felt her
disappointment.
    “I’m sorry to hear that too. I saw Regina
last week; her face was full of sorrow. That family is suffering.
They’ll be heartbroken to hear Regina missed her college interview.
But they won’t be back today; they went to Texas for the
funeral.”
    Camille felt her head spinning. A lot of
sorrow for a family to go thru, then Regina will miss her chance at
her future.
    “Is there anything I can do to help? I can
call Lynda.”
    “You can! That would be great. If I could
just speak to them and quickly reschedule the appointment, my
supervisor won’t know Regina missed it.”
    “Of course, dear. Just let me get the
number.” Camille did not invite her in.
    “Do you know where in Texas?” Carrie called
from the door way.
    “Umm……., no. Their flight was to Austin.”
Camille’s voice came from the tiny kitchen. “Well, wait. Lynda told
me the town when she came to tell me they would be away. What did
she say?” Camille said looking up.
    While she was thinking, Carrie looked around
the apartment. It was the typical apartment for a lady holding on
to the best times in her life. Pictures of Camille dominated the
walls with little shelves full of knick knacks.
    The old woman was still trying to remember
the town when Carrie asked, “Mrs. Clemmens, may I call her? I might
need to call her back and you might not reach her the first try. I
don’t want to put you out by calling her often.”
    Camille was about to say it wasn’t a problem
when she heard Chef telling the contestants about the day’s
challenge. Camille was missing the show! She could rewind it, but
she timed it perfectly to end the episode at nine when the new show
began. She had to get rid of this woman.
    “Sure, here you go.” Camille said with an
edge in her voice, almost throwing her the phone number. “I have to
go now. Good Luck.” She shut the door before Carrie could thank
her, but the door opened again.
    “Oh, Lee! The town is called Lee.” Camille
shouted thru the cracked door and shut it again.
    Lady Sarah was pleased and spun around on her
heals and started to leave the building with a large smile on her
face.

Chapter Ten
    Last night I had another strange dream. Mom,
dad and I moved into Grandpa’s house, but the house was haunted!
Faucets in my bathroom would turn on and the water would run. I
know it seems like a typical cliché but it scared the hell out of
me. At one point, mom and dad left and I got into my bed for a nap,
I think. I had a baby monitor, for some reason, and began hearing a
woman on it. But there was no one in the house!
    Suddenly, something came into the room. I
don’t know what happened next because my parents came home. But
something else stood out at me: the house. It changed shape during
my dream. I remember it being two stories with a cute and cozy
layout. There were lots of windows along one side of the wall.
Then, I realized I was in the room: dark leather furniture took up
the right side of the room while a tiny bar was on the far left. I
think there was a room beside the bar, making the room an L shape.
I can’t remember specifics though, I woke up soon after.
    It was past two o’clock in the morning and I
was still shaking from tonight’s dream. Though it was nothing like
the dream I had last night, I was starting to feel very frightened
about the real meaning behind these dreams. I’m dreaming about
roads that exist and now a haunting that
