                   No sound.
                   The bedroom door creaked when I pushed it open. The echo
               reverberated in my bones.
                   Still nothing.
                   My hands instinctively covered my mouth, to muffle the sound
               of my heavy breathing as I tiptoed out of the bedroom and into
               the living room.
                   No one was there, not even my mother, who hadn’t left the
               apartment in weeks. I checked every room. I was alone.
                   My mother never returned.
