thursday by night sentence starters. — @queenspy.
“eaten by a hungry door, if you aren’t careful.” michael’s neck bends further, too much, loose ringlets tumbling over what would be a shoulder. a creak of wood beneath maria’s feet — a door where there wasn’t one a moment ago, indiscernible from the floor and yet there, locked still. a threat, a promise, a reminder.
it laughs and laughs and laughs, a soft hum of amusement following. it’s sitting on her desk, legs folding in on themselves where they’re too long for the floor, teeth bared in a grin, its tone dripping mock sorrow. “i’m afraid i’m the wrong entity to ask, agent. endings are quite pointless when you twist and twist and twist,” and at that it twirls a (long, sharp, dangerous) finger in the air to illustrate its point. “not real endings, anyway. or what you would call real, at least.” again it laughs, inharmonious like a labyrinth.
“but if you’re looking for a ‘real’ answer,” it does air quotes around the word ‘real’, as though the sheer concept of reality was something to be amused by (it was. it is.), “you strike me as the type to go wandering in where you shouldn’t. to go snooping. curiouser and curiouser— i wonder whose domain you’ll enter uninvited first? the things like me do not like being seen. perhaps you’ll wander too close to the flame— it’s always been a temperamental one.”
