Summary
“Soho 0827,” came the voice on the other end of the phone, and Ellie felt a twist of surprise in her stomach. The voice was high-pitched, light and pretty, but her accent and cadence sounded antiquated, like something out of a movie from the fifties or sixties.
“Hi,” Ellie said nervously. She cleared her throat and tried again, hoping she wouldn’t stutter. “I saw your advert for a room to rent.”
–––
The door of Ellie's new home opens to the face of an impossibly beautiful stranger; blonde and clad in a red dress that looked like silken rubies against her pale skin. Ellie felt the words torn out of her throat when she met her eyes, thinking to herself that this Ms. Collins– I don’t mind if you call me Sandie, she’d said– wouldn't be the worst person to share a house in London with; far from it.
The first few nights that Ellie dreams about her, she writes it off as her own desire; shoves it down to be forgotten in the morning and relegates her shameful thoughts to the darkness of her bedroom. After a few in a row, though, they start growing stranger– marred with blood and crimson-stained teeth, more nightmare than fantasy.
