Ting Ling

Beware the noise behind the walls…And the dropped Cheetos Albert just wants some peace and quiet. Work and silence and no disturbances. Instead, a noise…a ringing noise in his apartment drives him to distraction. The noise even invades his dreams. When he realizes the ringing is coming from inside the walls, Albert really starts to worry. Anything could be behind that wall. Anything could be making that sound. Discovering the truth, however, proves more terrifying, and strange, than anything Albert could have expected. Author's Note: This story is also published in the collection HAUNTS AND HOWLS AND JESTERS BELLS.
