THIS WEEK'S WORDS come from the notes on the poem "Waterfalls and Memory" by Elizabeth Crawford: flashes, moments, uneasy, recall, week, writing, altered, distorted, three, sister, years, came

Deborah was 30 and all these years, she would have very uneasy moments while she is asleep, she would wake up sweaty and anxious. She has had flashes that came at least once every week from the time she was three. 

Deborah can still very clearly recall, every small detail in that dream. The dream had a small distorted house named "Dahlia Haem" amidst green grassy fields. She had a very pretty looking sister while Deborah herself was a little girl wearing her sister's altered dresses, the dresses looked like the ones worn in Scotland. She could hear her sister call her name out as Lera.

In real, Deborah had no siblings and never yearned for one too. Her husband being a renowned psychologist, suggested her to record these dreams in writing. 

Deborah was sure this was something to do with her past. She insisted on going to Scotland and finding this out. Deborah's consistent efforts brought out a shocking truth of the Dahlia family's two girls being killed by their own parents because of poverty. The Dahlia Haem,still stands there looking exactly like the house in Deborah's dream, now dark and lonely, the locals now claim that the house is haunted by the elder sister of the Dahlia family and she us waiting to be reunited with her little sister,
