"Haunted," he whispered.
The word hung in the air like despair in a dying man's bedroom. It was still hanging, as if it were itself a ghost, when Nicholas sucked it back in with a gasp.

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
- Grab your current read
- Open to a random page
- Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
- BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
- Share the title and author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!
wow...awesome! Kinda creepy.
