Stolen Tongues

The doctor at the ER says Faye is suffering from extreme stress. When Faye and Felix explain what happened, Lynn, Faye’s mother, admits that she was never comfortable in the cabin. She says that the couple from whom they bought it, Jennifer and Tom, moved in after their daughter died. Jennifer began having violent nightmares about Tom, causing her insomnia. She began to hear their daughter calling to her from the trees, and she felt she was becoming mentally ill. They eventually moved, but Tom died by suicide two years later.

Lynn says Greg’s sleeptalking began at the cabin when Faye was little. He dreamed that his war buddies, their bodies maimed and rotting, surrounded the bed watching Greg and Lynn sleep. After that, Greg refused ever to sleep there again.

That night, Faye answers more questions while asleep, just like at the cabin. When she responds with Felix’s name, he feels exposed. Hours later, Faye tells Felix to tell the man in the hall to leave, but he can see no one.

The next morning, Felix overhears Greg telling someone over the phone to check on the cabin. He says he suspects a gas leak, and Felix tells him someone was talking to Faye while she slept.
