EMPTY FILE

Nola Vane, a forensic archivist hired to process the estate of deceased psychiatrist Dr. Eleanor Marsh, begins recognizing phrases she uses, childhood memories she believes are hers, and her own recurring dream in the patient files. Marsh treated Nola as a nine-year-old child. Nola has no memory of this. The files have been arranged in the exact order Nola would have arranged them. The last file has her name on it. It is almost empty. One sentence. In Marsh's handwriting. Written two years before Marsh died. Waiting.
