I did not understand why her appearance so frightens me. Yes, this girl was gone a year ago, but all I have to do is call the police and tell her she is here, near my house!

But for some reason I could not do it. I was getting sick at the thought of calling somewhere. But why?

The girl looked at me with empty eyes when I opened the window. I was struck by a cold winter, although it was a hot summer. The girl suddenly grinned and again dissolved, and I felt hot.

She's in my basement! the thought pierced me suddenly. But no, the cellar door is securely boarded up, no one can go in there? But why did I hammer the door of my cellar? What happened one year ago?

And why am I so sure that I can not call the police?
