In the autumn of 1998, Luna spent a week housesitting at the Foster place on Hemlock Lane — a Victorian with a nursery that hadn't been touched since 1923. The wallpaper in that room showed a repeating pattern of children holding hands around a maypole. By the third night, she noticed the children's positions had changed. Not shifted, not rotated — they were different children. Different faces, different clothes. And one of them was holding something that hadn't been there before: a small blue boat. She called the realtor, who said the previous owner's daughter had drowned in the pond out back. That was in 1923. The wallpaper went up the week after the funeral. It was custom-ordered from England. Nobody knows who designed it. By the time Luna left, the pattern had changed again. She hasn't been back to Hemlock Lane since, but sometimes she still dreams about that room — the way the paper seemed to breathe, the way the children's eyes followed her even in the dark.
