Silent Room. Honorable Mention in The Forgotten Room Challenge.
All at once, the floorboards groaned their last. At first, this came as a relief, the scraping and scuffing of a cacophony of shoes and voices had been unrelenting. Peace, at last. No longer abused by the snotty-fingered child, or the slopping of tea and scrape of chair-legs. No longer marred and stained and used. Bones creaking, walls sighing, skirting boards never wiped. The occupants had been reckless, aging the room with crumbs, crayons and loud garish laughter. They had left dust and grime to congeal in hidden corners. Allowed a thin-armed spider to make a home in another. And the dog. It was perhaps the worst offender. Hair everywhere, nails scratching on oiled-wood, the drool, the dander, the wanton muck brought from outside.

Still here. Content Warning.
I wrote when I first got sick nearly 5 years ago, “What if that one week that turned into seven months turns into me?” Honestly, I think I wrote it like a dare. Casting my worst fear out into the world detach it from me. To write it down, to share it, was perhaps to conquer it.
