October 1998. The Roanoke Inn, a faded motor court off Route 41 in western Kentucky. Luna checks in late, the only guest. The room is musty, the wallpaper yellowed, the parking lot empty. Around 2 a.m., she hears a baby crying from the attic above the lobby. The innkeeper, a gaunt woman in a floral dress, tells her there is no attic. Later, Luna finds a door behind a curtain in the hallway. The stairs lead up to a dusty nursery. A cradle rocks there, empty. The crying stops. And then she sees the small handprint on the window. The story is about the weight of what is left behind, the spaces we try to forget, and the sound of something that refuses to be silent.
