Luminol. On TV, luridly splashed. Old memory/PTSD gets going, before I can stop it.

ONE year the kids had inadvertently tracked/ground some glow-in-the-dark PlayDoh into the stairway carpet, on their shoes' soles... as I found out after finally asking someone hesitantly if they were seeing it too. Well, we finally figgered it out.

NOW it's funny, but THEN.... faint spots before the eyes.... when I 'd go up to bed in this big ole house with all the scary hallways and doors where people can hide so easily... Back then I did not know that a black light is required with Luminol, so I thought our house had an old investigation deeply embedded in the carpet, still glowing at night. Or maybe..... and SAD plus PTSD spells Terror.

Great book title, that-- I claim copyright.
