Excerpt
from The
Mother-in-Law
Victoria
stepped out onto the patio, ambled around the pool, and stood at the gate,
gazing out at the moonlit beach and listening to the waves crash against the
shore. She inhaled the moist sea air and basked in the soft touch of the salty
air against her skin.
The cool
ocean air felt refreshing until she realized goose bumps had begun to appear on
her arms and then across her entire body. Something was off, and it was giving
her chills. She had a feeling that she wasn’t alone. A sixth sense told her
that someone was watching her. Her body tensed, and she squinted out into the
darkness.
Scanning
the patio, she slowly turned around toward the house. Then she saw her, saw her
silhouette, standing in the window staring down at her. Her mother-in-law
didn’t move away from the window, didn’t wave, but just stood and stared down
at Victoria. Victoria held her gaze for what seemed like at least a minute.
Then, finally, the drape slid across the window, and her mother-in-law was gone.
