Winona carefully made her way to where Karina was and gave her a resounding smack.

‘Ah!… Ouch…’ 

Karina’s trembling was slapped out of her system, her tears and hiccups slowly replaced with laughter.

‘Ok… Identification verified…’ Karina muttered.

‘Now go and make sure all of the doors and windows are closed!’ Winona spat. ‘You’re going to give me a heart attack before I die from the complications of the fall.’

Karina, still in the midst of her tears - laughter transition, forced herself to stand and did a sweep of the ground floor openings. For her peace of mind, she also checked upstairs.

‘This is looking more and more like that show “From”.’ Karina complained, mostly to herself. ‘Why did I even watch that show… Now I am seeing things.’

After her heart finally settled and Karina was self-assured that their safety wasn’t compromised, she started heading back down. She made sure once more that the last window pane was hooked. The one on her room.

‘GRANDMA I’M DO~’ Karina’s sentence got cut off by the sight of someone looking at her from behind the darkness. 

Just a little bit outside their property, a shadowy figure lurked. It looked back intently. But not at her, not at Karina. It was looking straight. To where her grandma is.
