Today was a good day. Got up just after 8 l walked the dogs.

Did a bit of felting, playing the ukulele.

Wrote for five minutes (see below)

Some friends came to stay. Had a great evening with them.

Walked the dogs a couple more times.

...
5 Minute writing exercise using prompt: “She went to the toilet and on her way back, opened the wrong door.”

Made a video of me writing story. Typing bit sped up x4

....

The room was dark and for a second she stood in the doorway unsure of what to do.

Close the door, turn around find the right door, she thought. Simple really.

But there was something that made her stop.

She blinked, her eyes adjusting to the lack of light.

Was there something in the room?

Something… or someone.

She took a deep breath and a smell hit her nostrils. It was damp, not entirely unpleasant - it reminded her of the smell of leaves on a forest floor in autumn.

She coughed.

"Is anyone there?" she asked, feeling somewhat foolish.

The person - or thing - on the floor shifted slightly.

Then she heard something like a knife being scrapped along a tiled floor.

"Oh yes," a voice came. "There is someone here."

She gasped and stepped back, hoping to get back into the corridor and close the door behind her. But her back found the cool metal of the door.

She suddenly realised she was stuck in a dark room with whatever it was.

"You don't scare me," she said, her voice betraying her.
