The cemetery behind St. Clarice Church had a peculiar way of absorbing sound, as though the dead had struck some quiet pact with the earth to hold everything still. Morning mist clung to the grass in silvery threads, wrapping tombstones in ghostly veils, while the trees stood solemn like witnesses long past morning. Moni moved slowly along the gravel path, her boots muffled by moss and softened earth, her breath visible in the chill that lingered just before dawn. She wasn't there for anyone in particular. No anniversaries. No flowers. Just a growing instinct, something almost ritualistic now, pulling her to the cemetery like a tide that never stopped returning. Since discovering her strange gift, if it could be called that, Mone had begun to walk through graveyards not as a visitor, but as something between a thief and a confessor. She didn't always know what she was looking

for until it reached out to her. She passed graves with names that meant nothing to her, their story already faint and water-worn, until something shifted in the air, an invisible gravity that turned her head without thinking. It wasn't a voice, not quite, but a hush beneath the wind, a pause in the rhythm of the morning that made her stop. The stone was tucked beneath the tangled arms of a yew tree, nearly swallowed by ivy and time. It leaned ever so slightly to the right, as though the earth beneath it had exhaled too deeply and let it sink. Most of the name had been scraped away by wind and weather, but the remaining letters, A&A, were enough. Moni didn't need more to know this was the one. She approached slowly, as if afraid the stone

might recoil. Her fingers hovered above its surface before pressing lightly against it. The chill of the stone soaked into her skin, and she closed her eyes, not in fear, but in readiness. She braced herself for the current. And then, the world tilted. The scent of the scent of tea leaves and old lemon peel filled the air. The hum of a refrigerator buzzed faintly in the background, mingling with the distant ticking of a wall clock. Anastasia Calderon stood in the center of a small kitchen, her bare feet rooted to the cold tile, the porcelain shards of a broken teacup scattered at her feet like bone. Her hands trembled, one still loosely holding the handle that had survived the fall. Across from her, framed in the soft rectangle of a hallway's dim light,

stood her son, his arms limp at his sides, his sleeves darkened by something wet and red, though it was unclear whether it was paint, blood, or some combination of the two. Neither of them spoke. There was a silence between them that had weight, a kind of invisible pressure that made breathing difficult. It wasn't the silence of misunderstanding, but of resignation. This was not the beginning of a tragedy, Moni realized, it was its slow, inevitable conclusion. The boy turned suddenly and disappeared into the dark, his footsteps light and fast, like someone escaping the scene of a crime he had no words for. The vision cracked and surged.

Money was pulled through Anastasia's memories like a ghost slipping between rooms. She saw Anastasia at her writing desk, fingers hovering above keys she could no longer bring herself to press. She saw her folding laundry with robotic precision, her eyes glazed over, her mouth stitched shut by the weight of of things unspoken. She read letters never sent, heard lullabies sung to empty rooms. The woman's life was a quiet, echoing ache that moved from day to day without ever quite surfacing. People spoke about Anastasia when they thought she couldn't hear. She's not right in the head, one neighbor whispered. Poor thing never recovered after her husband left. Another added, that boy's always been off.

It's in the blood, maybe. Anastasia didn't defend herself. She simply carried on, walking her son to school, picking up groceries, folding the same sheets she once made love between. The bruises that dotted her life were not always visible, but they were there, in the stillness of her voice, in the absence of photographs on the wall.

Money watched as Anastasia tried, again and again, to hold herself together for a boy who had already begun to come apart. She saw a birthday cake left uneaten, a drawer filled with apology notes never read, and a police report that was never filed. Then came the stairs. Anastasia stood at the top,

bathed in the weak light of a hallway bulb, her hands clutching a porcelain doll, its face cracked, one I'm missing. It had been her son's gift to her once, now broken in anger. She didn't look angry, though. She didn't even even, look sad. She looked emptied out, like a room that had been cleared of furniture but still

smelled faintly of its former occupant. Voices rose from below. Her sons first, pleading and sharp. Then a man's low, booming, violent. Mone couldn't see his face, but his presence filled the stairwell like smoke. There was shouting, then a sudden, unnatural silence. And then something fell. The doll hit first, clattering down the wooden steps, piece by piece, until it landed in a pile of limbs and porcelain dust. A second sound followed, duller, heavier. Anastasia was gone. Moni gasped as she came back to herself, hands still resting against the gravestone. Her chest heaved once, then again, as though the vision had sucked the air from her lungs. She staggered backward, sitting on the cold grass, blinking against her.

the weight of what she had just seen. What had happened on those stairs? Had Anastasia fallen, or been pushed? Had she jumped? Had the man, the voice in the dark, been real? Or a memory warped by fear? The answers were not clean. The past rarely was. But the ache in Moni's ribs told her something was unresolved, something left behind, not by mistake, but because no one cared enough to carry it forward. She began writing that night. It wasn't immediate, not in the sense of fingers flying across a keyboard in cinematic urgency. Instead, she began by sitting in silence for hours, the image of Anastasia burned behind her eyes. Then she opened her journal and began to sketch the outline of a life, not precisely Anastasias, but

close enough to feel true. The woman became Isadora in Moni's story. The boy was a boy who The boy, Mateo. She changed names in cities and decades, but the emotion remained untouched, the grief, the fracture, the echoing sorrow of a woman falling into silence while the world looked away. The book, The Silent Staircase, took nearly a year to finish. When it was published, it rippled quietly at first, reviewers called it eerie, beautifully written, psychologically harrowing. Then the letters came.

From mothers. From daughters. From women who said they had never felt seen until now. Moni read them all, one by one, her hand sometimes trembling as she turned each envelope. Most of the readers asked the same question, How did you know? She never answered. Before Winter's Frost set in, she returned to Anastasia's grave one last time. The yew tree had lost most of its leaves, and the stone looked smaller somehow, diminished not just by time, but by the quiet bird.

burden of being remembered. She knelt again, pressing her fingers gently to the cool surface. I told them, she whispered. And the wind, as it passed through the cemetery gates, seemed to sigh in response. To be continued.
