Don’t forget to tag me if you follow along with the challenge.
There was a whole world behind the door. The life I previously had was waiting outside. It came knocking from time to time, asking, "Hey, dude, are you alright?"
I insisted I was fine, yet I never opened them. I kept them close, trapping myself in a dark room, while my mind slowly ate away at itself.
Raccoon note: Sometimes the stories we write are for ourselves. I don’t really feel like this is a good story, or that it is much of fiction at all. But I used to keep those doors closed, and something in me just wanted to get that out there.
Sidenote: No batch today, but y’all are amazing this week has been MASSIVE in terms of contributions. Thank you for being here with me.
PROMPT: DOOR
THE CLOSED DOOR
The door was firmly closed, and then the timer started.
We had an hour and a half to solve a bunch of problems before we could leave again and escape this hellhole.
It was going to be taxing, and arduous, and it was going to test our brains to the limit.
But we were ready.
The Maths Exam had begun… 😎
They say as one door closes another one opens but that’s where the phrase ends. It’s not proceeded by ‘for you’. Maybe it’s a karmic thing. Yeah, let’s go with that.
On this premise I can bask in what may befall the bus driver who was smirking, shutting the doors as I ran alongside to board in the pouring rain.
