Whispers

Viola has moved to a cottage on the bluffs in Washington state. Her first night there is a storm. She has a nightmare about an old crone who warns her to beware. When she wakes up her pets are both alerting to an old clam man down on the beach. They go investigate. The man looks ancient. He stares at her and asks her if she has come back. He won't believe her when she tries to explain that she is new around here. She tries to get away only to hear someone calling to her. It sounds like a girl's voice. But she cannot see a girl anywhere around. Finally she looks down at the sand. She gets down on her knees. She puts her ear to holes in the sand. She hears a voice that very distinctly complains, "You stepped on me."

What is going on around the tiny town of Cliffs? Is Viola having a waking nightmare? Or it something far more sinister? Viola had better figure it out before she gets scared to death.
