Chapter 13 - Helen’s Mistake

The group thought the array was dead.

Helen found residual power.

She wanted proof.

One minute of activation.

That was all.

At first the speakers produced static.

Then came names.

Each person heard someone different.

Jonah heard his sister Rebecca.

She had died in a car accident when he was twenty-four.

“Jonah?”

He walked toward the array.

“I’m sorry.”

Rebecca’s voice answered:

“I know.”

He began crying.

Then she said something no recording could have known.

A private sentence from the night before her death.

Jonah believed.

That was the trap.

Helen shut the system down.

Too late.

The voices had already moved beyond the speakers.

Into the corridors.

Into radio equipment.

May you like

Into them.
