A taste of Voidum: ... She heard a noise. She cocked her head stiffly and listened. Her ears strained to pick up the sound, but it had been transitory. She was sure it had come from behind the stairs, though, the one place she hadn't checked (fool ). She brought her foot back to the floor and, holding her breath, walked silently around the steps for a look. All was blackness here, beneath the stairs.

It's dark in here--hard to see." He eased his grip on her, although he did not entirely let go. Not yet.....
