Chilled Steps

Steps
                                                            creaking
                                                           in silence
                                                       on the staircase
                                      to a hallway that is long and darkened.

                                                                Voice
                                                              echoes
                                                           faintly from
                                                          an open door
                                as the sounds grow closer, the chill speaks clear.
