New Evidence

CHAPTER 13

It's been three weeks now, and no more crunching. Our upstairs neighbor is most surely no longer with us in spirit, although unfortunately most likely in body somewhere up there. 

But as we try to purge the creepy memories of its presence in our attic, we discovered the other day fascinating new evidence at its interest in our home. On our way out the front door, we discovered on the outside windowsill the undeniable paw prints of a tiny creature that had seen something it liked through the window. The sill is quite close to the vine that Trevor surmised was our unwanted guest's likely entry and exit point.

Were these the tracks of our neighbor before it discovered the vine, and ultimately our attic? Or, perhaps, were these the tracks of our neighbor's friends who had been invited to party upstairs, only to be turned away at the "door" when Trevor sealed the last vent in? We may never know, but the paw prints are enough to keep our neighbor's memory alive.
