Once, as she tossed on her cot-bed, she broke into a low little laugh to think how untrue things really were and how strange it was that people did not understand--that even she felt as she lay in the darkness that she could not get away. And she could not get away unless the train would stop just long enough to let her fall asleep. If she could fall asleep between the trains, she would not awaken. But they came so quickly one after the other.

Judith and the Invisible Playmate.,
By
This review is from: In the Closed Room (Kindle Edition)
This is a short story concerning a working class couple, Jem and Jane Foster and their otherwordly young daughter, Judith. Judith is imaginative and solitary, she frequently dreams of her Aunt Hester, who died quietly at a very young age.
Judith and her parents live in a hot, airless flat near the City's noisy Elevated Railroad. The father is offered the temporary position of caretaker at large house by the Park. The small family relocates to the beautiful deserted mansion. Judith and her mother discover a locked room on the fourth floor of the house. There is a mystery to the empty house and the locked room. This short story is a little predictable but will hold your interest.
