Writing Prompt Locked Room: Never Enter, Someone Inside

·

·

What hums behind a door you have no key to?

This week’s writing prompt locked room asks you to describe a space you have never entered. Yet someone is inside. You stand on the threshold. The handle is cold. A pale shape slides out from beneath the door, then vanishes.

Nothing opens. Everything tightens. The room becomes a held breath, and the reader leans toward it. Therefore, your task is not to build the room. It is to build the wanting.
