The window of the room was half open, and the night wind blew the curtains.
Usually by this time, Mom has already said good night and turned off the lights.
Then, there will be reassuring sounds from the next room, belonging to Mom.
If he hadn't been haunted by nightmares, Thomas would have fallen asleep at this time...
However, today is different.
Thomas couldn't sleep today no matter what.
The uncles and aunts from the warehouse said that my mother was in a coma in the hospital...
However, Thomas always felt that they were lying to him.
"Mom may never come back..." The little body tightened the blanket, and the tears were hot when they came out, but they became cold when they touched the pillow.
Mother……
"Thomas...Ma...S..."
The dazed little boy opened his eyes that were covered with tears: "What's the sound?"
"Thomas...Ma...S..."
Sounds like my mother’s voice? !
Mom is back?
Thomas was a little surprised, but also a little happy. He sat up and turned on the lamp on the bedside table...
"Mom?" he tentatively called in the direction of the door.
Then, there was the distinct sound of footsteps, step by step.
He walked slowly, but Thomas felt that it was his mother's footsteps.
However, Thomas felt a little scared for some reason.
He did not jump out of bed excitedly to greet him, but instead held the blanket in his hand tightly...
"Mother?"
Squeak...ah...
The door was opened.
Standing at the door was indeed my mother.
However, Thomas felt something was wrong.
Mom's face was pale, as white as the cracked concrete floor in the abandoned factory building.
There was no white in her eyes, and they were pitch black. When she stared at her own eyes, it was like two mouths leading to an abyss unknown to where she was.
Her fingers were holding the door frame, very, very slender...
Her hair was messy, floating messily even though there was no wind.
"Mother……?"
Thomas pulled the blanket up to protect himself——
He knew it was mom, but mom was getting so weird!
"Thomas..." Mrs. Dominic slowly walked to Thomas.
She stretched out her slender fingers and gently touched the top of Thomas' head...
Looking at the dark eyes, Thomas relaxed a little: It was indeed her...
Even if she becomes like this, she is still my mother.
The fear subsided some.
"Thomas? Can't you sleep?" In Thomas' eyes, the messy hair slowly calmed down, the slender fingers shortened little by little, and the dark eyes became black and white...
Mom is back...
Everything today is just a nightmare.
The little boy wiped his tears with a blanket, feeling relieved.
As usual, the little boy moved his buttocks and let his mother sit on his bed.
She picked a fairy tale book and planned to tell the story to Thomas who couldn't sleep.
"Mother?"
"Um?"
"Will you leave me?"
"Silly boy, how could this happen?
"Mom will not leave you..."
She kissed Thomas' forehead gently, it was cool and not as warm as usual.
But Thomas still felt at ease...
…
…
"I want my mother to stay with me forever...
"But it kept her from sleeping.
"It's so selfish to do this."
The little face raised, looked at the moonlight, and then looked at Sean: "Two uncles...
“I don’t want to worry about my mother anymore.
"If you can, please..." He choked, his eyes were red, but he still said, "Please let her sleep."
Sean and Moonlight looked at each other in surprise.
Knock, knock...
Without warning, there was a knock on the door again.
"Thomas...it's time for dinner..."
Sean looked at Thomas and Moonlight.
"Stabilize her first."
Sean walked to the door expressionlessly and opened the door...
The three of them followed Mrs. Dominic, who still looked creepy, towards the restaurant.
In order to save electricity, the lights were not turned on in the restaurant.
Sean took out the lighter with the Crucifixion picture on it and quietly lit the candle on the table.
The food on the table surprised Sean and Yueguang.
A plate of dismembered rats.
A plate of smashed frogs.
A plate of drowned sparrows...
Apparently, Mrs. Dominic sensed something. Sean and Moonlight were no longer welcome here.
"Please...sit..." The wife's head was tilted strangely, and the blackness in her eyes became more and more intense, infecting the air with an evil sense of ridicule.
Thomas sat at the far end, where there was clean food—corn, peas, carrots, and ham sandwiches.
Sean and Moonlight sat next to Mrs. Dominic.
"Rough food, no respect..." The voice was as thin as a gossamer, making people feel chills all over their bodies.
Sean was not irritated by Mrs. Dominic's behavior. He sat next to her calmly and responded politely:
“That’s a lot.
"Thank you for your hard work, Mrs. Dominic."
There was no smile on the Wraith's face.
Only when she looked at Thomas, she seemed a little gentler: "Thomas...eat well and don't waste it."
"Okay, Mom." He seemed to have forgotten what he had just requested from the two explorers. He picked up the spoon and nodded with a sensible smile.
The candlelight flickered, making the wife's shadow float in the dining room, making it even more desolate and strange.
The atmosphere of the dinner has dropped to freezing point, and there is no need to pretend anymore.
Sean put one hand on the table and said tentatively: "Mrs. Dominic...
"Did you know that you have actually left this world?"
The resentful spirit slowly turned his head and looked directly at Sean.
In her eyes, the masks of the two explorers she invited suddenly became unclear.
The sentences coming out of their mouths were like bubbles spitting out of water, making it difficult to hear.
Mrs. Dominic was secretly frightened: They are those people with blurry faces!
They want to take away my Thomas!
Black resentment spread out behind her like wings, and her shadow turned into some kind of boiling, twisting existence...
The hostess of the house suddenly stood up, and the chair behind her flew out and smashed into the wall with a loud noise.
“Do you…do you…want to take…Thomas away?
"Do you, do you, want me to separate from my son?!
The rage of the resentful spirit doubled her intensity.
Outside the window, the dark wind swept past the leaves.
The whole house shook because of her.
At this moment, any ordinary person who steps into this house may be frightened to the point of cardiac arrest, be driven out of their wits, and become one of the victims of the resentful Mrs. Dominic...
However, the two guests tonight sat calmly in their seats.
The Glimmer Sea rested a hand on the table, a starlight peering through the mist, calmly gazing at the furious mistress.
The soloist under the moon leaned back on the chair, put one hand on the back of the chair, and relaxed...
Mrs. Dominic's resentment and rage were truly astonishing.
However, for the two experienced Queens...
Still not enough.
If there is anyone in this house who should be afraid.
I'm afraid he should be stared at by the sea of twilight and the soloist under the moon...
That resentful spirit.
