Sesame, an old woman in frail health, is trapped in the attic with no explanation. A woman and her two small girls live on the first floor, none of whom pay the old woman any mind. Though she tries calling out, banging on walls, and stomping on the floor, her cries for help go ignored.

Hauntingly Good

I really enjoyed this story of Sesame writing letters to her sister Eula as she tells her about her failing health and about the strange happenings with the new tenants downstairs.

I’ve truly enjoyed all of Michael Bussa’s work and this is no different. Awesome as ever.
