The realtor’s voice, honeyed and false, still echoed in Clara’s ears. “Perfect for entertaining!” she’d chirped. “Move-in ready!” She could feel a twitch in her left eye as she examined the rough-hewn door, barely concealed behind the bookcase in the master bedroom. She dragged the bookcase aside, the heavy wood scraping across the floorboards. The audacity of it!

She yanked at the knob, the handle cold and unyielding in her grip. It wouldn’t budge. She slammed her shoulder against the door. Again. And again. The wood groaned but didn't give.
