There is a girl in the ER (again) for attempted suicide who’s bubbie heard shrieking from the basement but she figured she was just playing house.
There is a boy in rehab who’s brother heard shrieking from the tutor’s study but he was fairly certain it was part of the homework.
There is a boy…well there was a boy….he’s dead now…who’s school secretary heard shrieking from an office but she was sure he was just happy to be talmid hashavua again.
