Miss Hunniford,

Alright. Remember, you promised.

Miss Hunniford,

This is what I know about my family's curse.

I've been haunted by shadows most of my life. Sometimes they're distant and I can ignore them. Sometimes they're too close for me to think about anything else. They've never touched me yet, but I worry they will. I don't know what will happen if they do. Some things help drive them back. Nothing seems to work forever.

Any time I try to talk about this, people look at me as though I'm crazy. Or they hear something else entirely, like you did that night.

I don't know how widely spread it is. My siblings seem to have it. I suspect it's the reason my father is the way he is. Beyond that I don't know.
