A passage from Summer’s Passing. A cool blast of salt air met me in the hallway. I soon saw why. The back door was open, not a crack but fully open. It rested against the interior wall. I instinctively turned around and saw a faint light casting shadows from our bedroom. Beckie! No time for stealth now. I ran back to the bedroom door, the umbrella shaft held out like a spear, fully prepared to do battle if I must. The room was empty, save for Beckie who was still sleeping soundly. She lay on her back and at the hollow of her neck, the cross on her necklace glowed like a beacon in the dark. Then, something grabbed my ankle.
