Standing in the musty smelling, dimly lit foyer, I wondered at the change in atmosphere from the last time I’d been there. A quick search of the main level showed me that the only way up was the staircase I’d climbed to Deaver’s office.With a feeling of foreboding that surprised me a little, I retraced my steps of that fateful night. I quickly found myself immersed in total darkness as I ascended the staircase to the second floor. At the landing I looked for a moment toward the hall that fed the church offices and suppressed a shiver. Something evil was resting nearby. That knowledge didn’t exactly entice me to move ever higher into the profound shadows which awaited me as the stairway climbed away from the second floor.I pulled out the palm-sized canister light I’d placed in my coat pocket before leaving my office. “Light on full.” The powerful Halolight X14 clicked on, illuminating the staircase and throwing the levels above me into bright relief. I took a deep breath and started climbing again.
