Man, it's been a while since I read a story that gave me a slight shiver. Your story managed to do it, when I read the part where the woman laughs. I inferred from the beginning that this woman was dead, I expected it to be so, but that part of the story, the fear it conveys, is very good. Congratulations!
Thank you, juniorgomez. I'm glad you liked the story. On that part, I wanted to write a raucous laugh, but I wasn't sure how to do it. I'm glad you highlighted that part.
