The Door
PG13 This is a drabble response to a challenge by eris on MLL:
MLL UWS – (Eris challenge) Coraline's and Mick's wedding night as she's watching over Mick before he wakes up. Do it from an unusual POV. Either sleeping Mick; the remorseful side of Coraline - or something inanimate in the room, like the mirror that saw
This is from the POV of the hotel room door.
A hand grabs my handle, slick with sweat. It's disgusting. A hard shoe kicks me and I grudgingly swing open. The deed is repaid by the heel of that shoe slamming me shut.
Couples always come in here for their wedding night and weeks later they'll be back with someone else; someone new. They're all the same; dirty creatures covering me and each other with their filth.
I'd thought the same of these two. Whispers of love and forever – lies. But the moans sound different; then deafening, chilling silence followed by raised voices; those usually come much later. What happened?
