Ned has to go back to work that evening and has to leave her all alone alone with the money, because the wheather is to bad for them to ask someone to come over and stay with her. During the evening the wheather gets even worse and Letty starts to hear strange sounds, one of those seems to come from whitin the house, when she goes to have a look she finds...(I won't tell anything more, so I won't spoil the story for you).

This suspenseful short story is worth the app. 15 minutes it takes to read. Perfect for when you have to wait for a train or something like that. Recommended.
