The Tree That Collected Children

Some doors don't close all the way.

Tommy Walker was eight years old when his family moved to a farmhouse at the edge of silent woods — woods that sang. What lived inside that hollow oak had been feeding for decades, collecting children the way other things collect dust. Tommy and a girl named Lily got out. The tree burned. The voices stopped.

Mostly.

He still hears it. Twenty-three years later, he still hears it.
