Tiffany was not like before.
Her little sister Tassy noticed it first. She stopped playing. She stopped smiling. She would just sit and stare.
At night, her father would hear little footsteps running back to her room. In the morning, she would look him dead in the eyes and say, "Daddy, your time is up."
Everyone thought she was just being a strange child. Until she attacked her own mother.
When Pastor Banda was called, the truth finally came out - and everyone in the living room could see her.
Not Tiffany... but a beautiful young woman in a dress, standing right behind Tiffany, holding her shoulders.
She was the woman Tiffany's father buried in the bush like she was nothing. The woman he killed so he could be free to marry another woman.
And now she is back.
Not to haunt the house.
To bury everything he loves.
