Mara climbs the stairs and eases the door open. Theo is tucked in, breathing slow, fast asleep. No humming. She almost laughs at herself. But as she turns to leave, the humming starts again, soft and clear. It's coming from the closet across the room.
Mara yanks the closet open, ready to catch a prankster. It's empty except for clothes. But the humming doesn't stop. It gets louder, and now it's behind her. She spins. Theo is sitting up in bed, eyes open, watching her. 'You came up,' he whispers, smiling. 'Now it can come down.' The lights go out, and that is the last anyone hears of Mara.
