Synopsis
A widow cannot be free of memory and feels drawn back to the house where she lived with her husband; relics of the past take her into a basement crawl space where she is trapped in her mind.
Notes
This story is barely, if at all, supernatural; the sinister force that draws its main character into the past's trap is probably entirely memory, only metaphorically a ghostly haunting.
