A Free Spirit

Nadine lies on her mattress on the floor of the attic. She stares up at the naked light bulb hanging from the ceiling and the moth circling it. Wind gusts through cracks under the doors and windows, whistling down hallways and upstairs, carrying with it the storm-muffled moans of Paul and the new housemate. A Free Spirit is a short story written and narrated by Robert Fairhead from the Tall And True writers' website.
