Prompt: 061. I hear dead people<\/h1>\n

1. The confession was made in a breathy whisper: “I hear dead people. I can’t see them, but I can talk to them. They tell me how they died and beg for me to help them. I’m scared.”<\/h2>\n

A. The confession was made in a breathy whisper: “I hear dead people. I can’t see them, but I can talk to them. They tell me how they died and beg for me to help them. I’m scared.”<\/p>\n

A. “I’m hearing dead people.” It was a sobering observation as the sound of recorded screams got louder and more intense.<\/p>\n

They listened for the full ten minutes, until the last scream wound down into silence. Then there was the sound of footsteps and bodies being dragged away.<\/p>\n

It was a relief when a twenty minute break was called. Nobody looked at each other as they shuffled out of the room.<\/p>\n
