The Wind in the Rose-bush

"The Wind in the Rose-bush" follows Rebecca Flint, a sharp-eyed spinster who travels from Michigan to collect her niece Agnes from the girl's stepmother, Mrs. Dent — a woman whose warm appearance hides something cold and deliberate. Agnes is never quite home, always one excuse away, yet her presence seems to linger in unexplained ways: a rose-bush stirring on a still day, music from an empty room, a small nightgown laid out with terrible care. Freeman builds dread slowly, through evasion, suspicion, and details that refuse to add up.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ririro-com-short-stories--6577582/support.
