Shush ! Shush ! Shush !
When the holiday was over, we went back to our apartment in the city and the nightmares stopped. After that, my grandmother would always come to visit us instead, so we never went to her cottage on vacation again. As time went on, I stopped thinking about the man and eventually forget about him altogether.
One summer, when I was 13 years old and my little brother was 5 years old, we went to stay with my grandmother again. My parents were in the kitchen, having a cup a coffee with my grandmother. They asked me to get my brother, ready for bed. While I was preparing a mattress on the floor for both of us to sleep on, my little brother was sitting on one of the beds.
I noticed that he was being unusually quiet. When I looked up, I saw that he was staring at something. " What's wrong ? ", I asked him. Then suddenly, he jerked head around and looked at me, his eyes wide with fear.
" Sabina, " he said, pointing at the curtains. " The shush man is standing there... "
Needless to say, my brother and I spent the night sleeping in the kitchen and we never went to visit my grandmother's cottage again.
