The Mirror in the Attic
Firmly turning the key in the lock, I opened the stiff door into my new home. Moving from state to state is hard, let alone across the whole country. Thankfully, moving from a metropolitan area to a rural one, I can afford somewhere nice and big. With the freedom of my new job, I’m ready to take a step bacwww.onedoor.cck; work from home, tend to a garden, make some friends, and enjoy living on the west coast.

It had been raining all day now, with the grey clouds gravely misted upon the once clear blue skies. The rumbling of thunder only increased and the howling of the storm began to deepen. I was sitting at the table reading a book. In front of me, the glow of the only light source flickered casting the room an illuminating yellow glow. I glanced at the grandfather clock on the wall before moving my head back to the book. 5 more minutes, I silent...
