Haunt. Honorable Mention in The Forgotten Room Challenge.
Morning. You come awake to dust motes dancing in spots of sun. Your bedroom is exactly as it was the day before- and the day before that, and before that. Your record player by the vanity where you do your makeup, sitting gathering dust, your flower pressings pinned to the wall above the neatly made bed you no longer sleep in. This room is hidden now, walled off, a mystery to the rest of the house, a time capsule in which your life is preserved just as you left it.

Double Life. Winner in Through the Keyhole Challenge.
I kneel with my eye pressed to the little circle of light, watching. On the old formica countertop there are two glasses of wine, a couple of paper plates on which cold pizza sits, congealing. There's low music playing from a record player. It's out of sight, but from the way it skips, making that whispering, slithering sound every third turn, I know it's the old one you used to have in your office, the one you said you sold to a work friend. To think it was here all this time, regaling the nights you spent without me! Didn't your mother ever teach you not to lie?
