The wind still howled through the broken windows of the La Laguna Negra boarding school, carrying the scent of wet earth and pine. Somewhere in the west wing, a door creaked on its rusted hinges, a sound she had once blamed on drafts and old wood. Now, she knew better.

She tries to speak—to warn them about the basement, about the door that should never be opened after midnight—but only the radiators answer with their metallic sighs.

Alicia Campos never believed in ghosts—not until she became one.
