Cellar Door

The November rain drummed against the slate roof of the Craftsman on Maple Street. A brass-plated key glinted in the lock of the cellar door, stamped with the words DO NOT ENTER. Beside it, a note nailed to the banister: keep it closed or lose everything. Damp soil shifted under the foundation each night. The wife traced the grain of the wood with her fingertips, tracing the same pattern she’d just scrubbed from the nursery walls. The husband tested the knob after midnight—once, twice—then swore the hinges whispered back. By midwinter the house yawned open from the inside.
