"Hello? Is anyone there?"118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HZe577XVg
Why did I agree to come to this stupid cabin? I knew the storm warnings were serious.118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4vJBsZdAo
"Sarah? Come on, this isn't funny!"
Maybe the power's just out. That has to be it. The wind was picking up before I got here.
"If you're trying to scare me, mission accomplished!"118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnu59yDBmyr
Keep it together, Michael. You're a grown man. It's just an old family cabin in the woods... with no cell service... during what might be the storm of the century.118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1urPtAVYY2
"Oh! You scared me half to death!"118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXavSoVlfj
"Sorry about that. I was in the cellar checking the circuit breakers. No luck though. Power lines must be down somewhere."118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcJHTeUacW
She looks different somehow. Something about her eyes...118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lrmcTggDH
"Well, at least we have the fireplace. I brought some logs in before the rain started. How long have you been here, Sarah?"
"Just since this morning. I wanted to set everything up before you arrived. We haven't spent time together like this in years."
Not since before the accident. I still don't know how to talk to her about it.118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWaL0vJ0I1
"Did you bring the food supplies like we planned?"
"Everything's in the kitchen. But I think we should start that fire first. It's getting cold in here."
Why isn't she mentioning what happened last time? Maybe she doesn't remember. The doctors said there might be memory issues.118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mTlLyM5HB
"The flames look beautiful, don't they? Like they're dancing."118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JkwzWqKds
"Yeah. Remember when Dad used to tell us ghost stories by the fire?"
"How could I forget? I didn't sleep for a week after the one about the lumberjack."
She remembers that? I thought... no, don't bring it up. This is nice. Normal.118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwevy36pvvJ
"Michael, why are you looking at me like that?"
"Like what?"
"Like you're seeing a ghost."
If only she knew how accurate that was.118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡni3mBhaNz8
"Sorry, it's just... it's been a while."
"I know. After everything that happened... I wasn't sure you'd want to see me again."
So she does remember. But how much?118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwVjjlK5EI
"Listen to that rain. It's really coming down now."118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqx5ENXvl4
"The weather report said it could last for days. Are we going to be okay here?"
"We should be. There's plenty of food, we have water, and the fireplace will keep us warm."
Unless the river floods. Like last time.118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs08kK1fo32
"Sarah... can I ask you something?"
"Of course."
"What's the last thing you remember... from before?"
Please don't be upset. I just need to know.118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuZAOMNznG
"You mean from before the accident?"
She said it. She actually said it.118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaVOiiQCA0
"Yes."
"I remember everything, Michael. I remember the argument we had. I remember storming out into the storm. I remember the bridge collapsing."
But that's impossible. She couldn't have survived that.118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5h5LiOFUCn
"Then how are you... how are we having this conversation?"
"What do you mean? I'm right here."118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW30CcRmDOU
Is she really not aware?118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxGhhgzOfF
"Sarah, they never found your body. The current was too strong. We searched for weeks."
"That's ridiculous. I'm sitting right across from you!"
Her expression... it's changing. Can she see the truth in my face?118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGD9WKaHj2
"Then why did you ask me to meet you here? After three years of nothing?"
"I didn't ask you anything. I got your message. You said you had something important to tell me."
This isn't happening. This can't be real.118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBrz6AHriI
"No, that's not... I got a text from your number. It said to come to the cabin. That you'd be waiting."
"Michael, my phone was lost in the river. With me."
Oh god.118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9c4L2T8wM0
"Did you hear that?"118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBV1LCDjNF
"Hear what?"
"It sounded like footsteps. On the porch."
Please be the wind. Please be the wind.118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqFG5b9hE8
"I don't hear anything. Michael, you're scaring me."
She's scared? How does that work if she's...118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UZtapvGJK
"Wait, there it is again!"
"I still don't hear anything. Maybe you're just on edge because of our conversation."
Or maybe whatever sent that message is here now.118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVgIfsO18f
"Stay here. I'm going to check."
"No! Don't leave me alone!"
If she's really a... then what is she afraid of?118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ649Ja6xlM6
"There's nothing out there. Just the storm."118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsaI15eJz9
"Are you sure? You seemed convinced."
"I guess my mind is playing tricks on me."
Or something else is.118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0IBMle9AU
"Michael, there's something I need to tell you. About that night."
Finally, the truth.118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1Og4j7mzC
"What about it?"
"It wasn't an accident. I went to that bridge on purpose."
No, no, no. Please don't say it.118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUA0IRcEMZC
"What are you saying, Sarah?"
"I wanted it to end. Everything was too much. The pain, the memories... I just wanted peace."
I can't breathe. This is my fault. I should have seen the signs.118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNzrvjEMgr
"But then, in the water, fighting to breathe... I changed my mind. I wanted to live, Michael. I fought so hard."
Then how are you here? How are we talking?118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jOoU3YvPx
"I need some air."118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKzldJ97GA
"Michael, it's pouring outside. You can't go out there."
"I just... I need a minute. To process this."
None of this makes sense. Either I'm losing my mind, or...118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoE5TD7lWRU
"The storm is getting worse. Look how the fire flickers. We shouldn't separate."
Was that a flash of... something else... in her eyes?118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlEQQmcria
"Sarah, if you survived, why didn't you come back? Where have you been for three years?"
"I... I can't explain that part. Not yet."
What does that even mean?118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34zH7DVhgi
"Do you remember what you said to me? Right before I left that night?"118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pOb0V14YK
I've replayed those words every day since.118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gmhOQ2IWx
"I said I wished I'd never had a sister. That my life would be better without you in it."
"And now you've gotten exactly what you wanted."
Her voice sounds different now. Colder.118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXUWS0PotB
"I didn't mean it. I've regretted those words every day since you... since you disappeared."
"Regret doesn't change what happened, Michael. Regret doesn't bring people back."
But then what is sitting across from me?118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpfwXsF25M
"What's happening to the fire? It's turning... blue?"118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwC8srTStw
"It's time, Michael."
"Time for what?"
She's not moving. Why isn't she blinking?118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1rEpgiuCc
"Time for you to make a choice."
The room feels like it's spinning. The walls seems to be... breathing?118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgjw5YOHtW
"I don't understand what's happening."
"Three years ago, I made a choice at that bridge. Now it's your turn."
This can't be real. This has to be a nightmare.118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7aw2OVStP
"Sarah, you're scaring me."
"Good. Fear means you're finally paying attention."
"What choice? What are you talking about?"118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CEVvMWnG5
Her eyes... they're completely black now.118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJU6B2TV7Rr
"You can join me, or you can let me go. For real this time."
"Join you where? You're not making sense!"
"You know where I am, Michael. You've always known."
No. No, I refuse to believe that.118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfovGniodQx
"You're not dead. You can't be dead. You're sitting right here!"
"Am I? Look closer."
I can't. I'm too afraid of what I'll see.118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaDXONZnCV
"The storm is inside now, isn't it? Not just outside."118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6ZWpPoryr
"It's been inside you for three years. Guilt, regret, anger... your own personal tempest."
The fire is spreading along the walls, but nothing's burning. How is this possible?118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqbweAdD4P
"What happens if I choose to let you go?"
"Then you live, Michael. You finally live."
"And if I choose to join you?"
"Then the storm takes us both. Together. Like it should have that night."
She holds out her hand. It looks solid, real. But there's water dripping from her fingertips.118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fsHAPQo2y
"I don't want to die."118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJw5cyODiVy
But I don't want to live without her either.118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqrkjIGSSU
"Then live for me, little brother. Live the life I never got to have."
"How? How do I just move on after everything?"
"By forgiving yourself. I already have."
The tears feel hot against my cold cheeks.118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpz3mMZfY8
"I'm so sorry, Sarah. For everything."
"I know. That's why I came back. To say goodbye properly."
Her form is shifting now, becoming transparent around the edges.118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdX0UKwWy5b
"Will I ever see you again?"118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSF6xZCoHAw
"Not like this. But I'll be around."
The fire is returning to normal. The walls have stopped breathing.118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1S82hRfEqi
"I love you, Sarah."
"I love you too. Now, make your choice."
I know what I have to do. For both of us.118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyM88fxjDq
"I choose to live."
Her smile is the last thing I see before the room goes dark.118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFE7Dg60yUN
"Hello? Is anyone there?"118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPvhq24M53
The cabin is empty. Sunlight streams through the windows.118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxllFdQnyQa
"Just checking in, Mr. Harris. Wanted to make sure you were okay after spending the night. That was some storm, wasn't it?"
"I'm... I'm fine. Better than I've been in a long time, actually."
And I am. For the first time in three years, the weight is gone.118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpgPG1Soc1
"Well, good. You had me worried when you said you needed to stay in your sister's old cabin. Especially with the anniversary coming up and all."
"It was something I needed to do. To say goodbye."
The caretaker nods, not fully understanding. How could he?118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujFEofGcGU
"If you're ready, I can drive you back to town now."
"Yes, I think I'm finally ready."
As we walk out, I swear I feel her presence, just for a moment. And it feels like peace.118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4qKvvYsxO
