First off, let me apologize for that title. I simply couldn't resist. This was a free download. The short story also appears in the anthology, Screamscapes.It feels like a lucky day when the old couple offers James the house he always admired as a child. Their daughter had been his best friend until her tragic accident. Now they are letting him have the house for a steal with the only condition being that he doesn't get rid of the curtains in the tower room. It seems like a dream come true until strange things start to occur after he moves in with his girlfriend.The story was creepy and well written. The problem was that you can see exactly where the story is going from the very beginning.In the author's afternote, he says the story sprang into his head practically already written. He did end up changing the original ending though. But he includes the original ending as well. Truthfully, I felt that both endings worked. They both had good and bad points as far as I was concerned.I gave the story three stars because I liked it but also felt that it was predictable.
