  • The Fourth Morning

    On the fourth morning, looking at the snow-covered horizon through the foggy window, Pati started questioning the whole thing for the first time. From her tropical lands near the equator, where she never had the luck to see snow, a cabin in the middle of the frozen woods sounded like a placid dream. For most of her life, visiting the snow remained a fantasy and, if you had asked her in the first month of the year where she imagined she would spend New Year’s Eve, she would have never, in a million years, guessed that she would be alone in that cabin. But there she was now, at the verge of a ne...pEgone door

    Whistle Down the Wind

    It had been twenty-four years since she’d last seen it, but the place looked exactly the same. Hannah didn’t know what she expected when she drove by her old high school, but she hoped there would at least be something. Movies made her believe that there’d be this intense nostalgia when she www.onedoor.ccsaw it, some burning recognition of her childhood. She even had a mixtape from her high school years playing in the car. She had to buy a whole new CD player to listen. The Head & The Heart, Fleet Foxes, Bon Iver, all those romantic fall tracks. She even timed it so that the rest of the band came in on Riv...pEgone door
