Shaena Lambert, "A Small Haunting"

A woman starts seeing a little ghost in her home.

(from Zoetrope All-Story Spring 2008)

Hmm. The Zoetrope site describes the story like this: A girl becomes what she most feared: a woman, a mother. I didn't get that, not so explicitly. I enjoyed this as a freaky ghost story, and a kind of simplified psychological thriller.
