The Door in the Hall: A Science Fiction Short Story
Every morning at ten past seven, Tobias Hallam puts his hand flat on the hallway wall beside his wife's coat and says one word: "Morning." For two years, nobody has answered.
Then his robot vacuum finds a door in a wall that has never had one. He says it again, and this time the wall says it back, in Ines's voice.
On the other side is his own hallway, his own clock, his own two coats on their hooks, and a woman who is sure he is the ghost.
Tobias is a retired land surveyor, and he knows that two surveys of the same ground agree only where nothing has moved. He has two days, until his daughter's flight lands, to work out how the door opened, why it opened, and what it will cost to close it.
A warm, strange and moving science fiction short story about grief, second chances and one impossible choice. About 9,200 words, written to be read in one sitting, with an illustration for every chapter.
For readers who love a quiet parallel-worlds story with a twist, a big heart and an ending that stays with you.
