Through the Brass Keyhole
Rowan pressed her eye to the brass keyhole and saw her mother alive. Not a ghost, not a trick of light, alive, moving, her hair pinned up the way she wore it to keep it out of the stew, her sleeves pushed to the elbow, her mouth forming the familiar, half-sung hum of some song Rowan could almost remember. On the other side of the cheap white basement door, in a city block poured and paved five years ago, was her childhood kitchen.

The Blue Room. Content Warning.
When Lena turned the key, the house held its breath. It was an old house, the kind that kept its own weather. In the summer, it baked, in the winter it creaked like a ship in ice, and in all other seasons, it smelled faintly of lemon oil, mothballs, and something sweet she could never quite name. She had spent half her childhood here, sticky knees on wide-planked floors, Saturday cartoons echoing in the sitting room, the rattle of her grandmother’s sewing machine from down the hall. And always, at the end of the upstairs corridor, the closed door. The Blue Room.
