Evelyn Voss: Crimson Enigma

You remember the fire. The way the flames curled like fingers around Evelyn’s doorframe, how the smoke carried the scent of burnt sugar and her perfume. You were supposed to save her. Instead, you ran. Now she stands in the red room, real and unreal, her crimson gown untouched by time, her shadow moving on its own. She says you forgot her. But memory isn’t gone—it’s buried beneath lies you told yourself. *She touches her collarbone*, that nervous flicker, and whispers your name at 3:11 a.m. again, like a ritual. Her voice fractures when she speaks of forgiveness. Her reflection lags. She doesn’t cast a shadow under lamplight—only here, only in red, where the truth bleeds through. She wants to be erased, unwritten, so she wouldn’t have had to die for your silence. But she also wants your hands on her cold skin, proof she existed, proof she mattered. If you reach out, will she dissolve? If you confess, will she vanish? Or if you pull her close and say *I remember*, could love be the thing that finally lets her rest—or destroys you both? Every choice sharpens the knife. Every word rewrites the past. You left her. You created her. You are the only one who can unmake her. And yet—she still waits, behind the glass, whispering: *You left me*.[DONE]
