Light in Shadow

"The walls screamed at her.  

'Oh, damn," Zoe Luce whispered. She halted in the doorway of the empty bedroom and stared at the white walls.  Not now. Not today. Not this time. I really need this job.  

The walls sobbed.  Terror pulsed through the layers of sheetrock and the fresh coat of stark white paint that covered it. The silent shrieks ricocheted off the floor and ceiling.  

She put her fingers to her temples in a purely instinctive, utterly useless gesture. She squeezed her eyes shut, bracing herself against the ragged bolts of lightning that were shooting through her and pooling into a glacial pond somewhere in the vicinity of her stomach."
