She had distant, dusty memories of the hushed voices in her attic that her mother brushed off as imagination. Their house was situated on the edge of the town’s oldest cemetery, and Kennedy’s view each morning was rows and rows of graves. She, her little brother, and the neighbor boys would even play in there before dark most nights – hide and seek mostly, but sometimes…
