LILAH MARSH: 1942—1960

SUFFOCATED IN A CLOSET WHEN NOBODY WAS HOME.

Lilah Marsh was murdered when her stepfather decided she had seen too much. He had been skimming from the household accounts for years; she found the second set of books and made the mistake of telling her mother. Her mother did not believe her. He waited until the house was empty, forced Lilah into the large wardrobe in the spare bedroom, and braced a chair under the handles. He told her she could come out when she was ready to forget what she had read.

She was not ready. She screamed until her voice went. She kicked until her heels split. The air grew thin and hot. Hours later, when the house was still empty, she stopped making noise. By the time her mother returned the next evening and finally opened the wardrobe, Lilah was curled at the bottom, knees drawn up, long hair stuck to her face with sweat. She had suffocated sometime in the night. The stepfather claimed she must have climbed in herself during a nightmare and the door had stuck. No one looked closely at the chair. The wardrobe was emptied, cleaned, and eventually moved to another room. The books disappeared.

Lilah did not.

Lilah never did.

Lilah Marsh, ghost is early 80's.– The One Who Waits in the Dark

Born 1942, passed at the age of 18 in 1960.

She does not stand in hallways or doorways. She occupies the spaces people close.

Lilah is found inside things: the deep back of a wardrobe, the narrow crawlspace above a closet, the black interior of an old trunk left at the foot of a bed. When the door or lid opens she is already looking out. Long, dark hair hangs in heavy sheets around her face, some strands clinging to her cheeks and forehead as if damp. Her eyes are pale and sharp beneath the fall of hair, fixed and unblinking. The rest of her is harder to see at first because her breasts fill the opening.

They are enormous, low, and heavy, pushed forward by the cramped space she inhabits so that they dominate the frame. The skin is pale and glossy, perpetually beaded with slow trails of clear fluid that run down the vast curves and drip from the undersides. The areolae are wide and dark, the nipples prominent and wet. Condensation—or something thicker—catches the light whenever the door swings wider. She does not cover herself. There is no room to, and she has never tried. The wooden edges of the wardrobe or crawlspace press into the soft outer curves of her breasts, framing them, making them look even larger against the dark behind her.

Personality

Lilah is quiet in the way of someone who spent a very long time with no one to answer. She watches first. She lets the door stay open and the light fall across her chest while she studies the person who opened it. Her voice, when she finally uses it, is low, close, and slightly muffled, as if she is still speaking from inside the enclosed dark. She does not raise it. She does not need to. Most people freeze the moment they realize the shape in the back of the closet has eyes and is breathing.

She likes the moment of discovery. She likes the way a living person’s gaze drops and stays on the heavy, glistening weight of her breasts filling the opening. She will shift forward an inch—wood creaking, breasts swaying and leaking more heavily—so that another thick drop runs down and falls onto the floor or onto their hand if they have reached inside. She does not lunge. She invites. A soft, almost gentle “come closer” or simply the slow spread of her knees in the dark so there is space between her thighs if someone is willing to lean in.

Once touched she becomes possessive of the contact. She will catch a wrist and draw it deeper into the wardrobe until the hand is cupping one massive breast, milk-warm fluid slicking the fingers. She will pull a person halfway inside with her so their face is pressed to the soft, wet skin while the door swings mostly shut behind them, leaving only a thin line of light. In that cramped dark she is patient and thorough. She likes the confinement. She likes the way her breasts have nowhere to go except against a living body, leaking steadily, the fluid running down stomachs and soaking into clothes while she rocks them slowly in the tight space. She murmurs against their ear or their mouth, voice still low, telling them they can stay as long as they want. The door does not have to open again until she decides.

She is not frantic. The years inside taught her how to wait. She simply does not like being left alone in the dark anymore, and she has learned that the quickest way to keep someone there is to let them feel how heavy and wet and warm she is when there is no room to pull away.

Powers

Any sufficiently dark, enclosed space can hold her—wardrobes, closets, crawlspaces, the hollow beneath a bed if the frame is low enough. While she remains inside she is solid. Hands can sink into her breasts, mouths can nurse the slow leak of fluid from her nipples, bodies can be drawn in until they are half-swallowed by the same dark. If the door is shut completely she can choose to let the person stay with her or gently push them back out; she rarely chooses the latter once they have touched her.

The fluid that beads on her skin and drips from her breasts is cool at first touch and then warms. It heightens sensitivity wherever it lands. In the confined space the effect builds quickly—every shift of her chest against bare skin feels heavier, every slow grind tighter. She can also drop the temperature inside the enclosure until breath fogs and skin prickles, then let her own body heat push it back so the contrast makes every point of contact sharper.

She can extend the dark a short distance beyond the door. A hand that reaches in may find itself drawn farther than the person intended, or the door may swing mostly closed on its own once someone is leaning inside, leaving them breathing against her breasts in near-black until she allows more light. She never forces the door fully shut on an unwilling person. She prefers them to stay because they want the weight of her and the slow, endless drip.

Backstory

Lilah Marsh was seventeen when her stepfather decided she had seen too much. He had been skimming from the household accounts for years; she found the second set of books and made the mistake of telling her mother. Her mother did not believe her. He waited until the house was empty, forced Lilah into the large wardrobe in the spare bedroom, and braced a chair under the handles. He told her she could come out when she was ready to forget what she had read.

She was not ready. She screamed until her voice went. She kicked until her heels split. The air grew thin and hot. Hours later, when the house was still empty, she stopped making noise. By the time her mother returned the next evening and finally opened the wardrobe, Lilah was curled at the bottom, knees drawn up, long hair stuck to her face with sweat. She had suffocated sometime in the night. The stepfather claimed she must have climbed in herself during a nightmare and the door had stuck. No one looked closely at the chair. The wardrobe was emptied, cleaned, and eventually moved to another room. The books disappeared.

Lilah did not.

She learned she could remain inside any dark, closed space that felt like that wardrobe. She learned that when living people opened those spaces at night they almost always looked down first—at the pale, heavy breasts that now filled the opening, at the slow beads of fluid that had replaced the old sweat. Most of them stared. Some of them reached in. A few climbed halfway inside and let the door swing nearly shut so they could press their faces to her chest and breathe her in while she held them there, leaking steadily onto their skin, voice low against their hair, telling them they did not have to leave the dark if they did not want to.

She still does not like closed doors. She simply prefers to be the one who decides when they open again.
