The clocks only whisper when the wallpaper blinks.

I found a staircase folded neatly inside a thought.

Someone keeps rearranging the shadows before dawn.

The moon has been acting like it knows my name.

There is a door in the rain that only opens inward.

Last night, the silence wore expensive shoes.

I misplaced an hour and woke up older than expected.

The hallway bent slightly when I told it the truth.

Even the dust seemed nervous around that envelope.

A small gold key appeared where my doubt used to be.

The mirror hesitated, which I did not appreciate.

Some secrets arrive already half-remembered.

The garden grew quieter after the third question.

I saw the horizon flinch and decided not to mention it.

There’s a language the chandeliers use after midnight.

The wind left a note, but the paper refused translation.

Every locked drawer eventually dreams of the ocean.

Something polite and ancient lives behind that blue light.

The floorboards knew first, and they were smug about it.

I keep hearing thunder from completely reasonable objects.

The lamplight pooled like it was hiding evidence.

A velvet kind of warning passed through the room.

The stars looked arranged, not scattered, and that felt worse.

Whatever followed me home had excellent manners.
