The three sisters [Night watches, Part 6.]

In a remote marshland house, three sisters have spent their lives together, bound by duty and quiet resignation. When the eldest, Ursula, lies on her deathbed, she speaks of a shadowy realm that links the living with the dead, insisting the locked room behind her will never be opened. The night is thick with rain, oil‑lamp flickers, and an uneasy silence settles over the sisters as they confront the possibility of something beyond death.

After Ursula’s body is laid to rest, the remaining sisters inherit her modest fortune, a legacy that quickly becomes a source of tension. Eunice, driven by compassion, plans to fund a children’s hospital, while Tabitha suspects that the money hides a deeper purpose tied to their sister’s last wishes. As they argue over the bequest, an unsettling feeling lingers, suggesting that Ursula’s presence may still be watching from the edge of the marshes.
