The door is cerulean, a bright and vibrant blue, but really it is the color of my sudden uneasiness. The feeling creeps up me slowly, jumps out at me dauntingly, and I am frozen in it. If the door were a mirror – and how I wish it were as innocent as a mirror – I would see my face reflected back to me, and it would tell me to run.I’m not sure what’s more jarring: the fact that this door is a clashing contrast to the rest of the library décor, or the fact that I’ve never noticed the path we took to get here before. I supp...
Outstanding reviews
Wow! Great story, AnneMarie!
Thanks so much, Jonathan! I finally get to join the winners circle 🤩😅
Awesome story, the details transported me there. Congrats!
Thank you so much, Debra!
Great, very suspenseful story with a truly terrifying ending. Congrats on the win
Thank you Michele!
ANNEMARIE. Yay <3 This was on my list to catch up on since I missed last week. I'll circle back to read it. I'm so happy for you!
Thank you so much, Danie! I've been so behind on reading this week, too. Appreciate all your support, friend!
Sister scribbler! Finally, long overdue, stepping up to lift the trophy 🎊 I've been so crazy busy I've not had a chance to read this; I just had to stop by when I saw your name as the winner. I will find a quiet moment this weekend and savour this. Big celebratory hugs across the miles.
Ahhhhh sister scribbler my dreams have finally come true 😭🤩 thank you for stopping by for the congratulations, means a lot! Ive been thinking about how busy you must be but I know you're still getting some scribbling done somewhere ✍️ Big big big hugs! You've been a great inspiration and writing mentor, might not be here without you and all the many talented writers here!
Congrats on the win!🥳🥳🥳 So well deserved.
Thank you so much, Mary!
Congratulations 🎉
Congratulations 🎉
Thanks Stefan! I'm glad the tension worked well and balanced out with the sexual tension and excitement. This was a bit of a new style for me so I'm very pleased to hear what worked. Thanks so much for reading and leaving your thoughts! I enjoyed your story this week, too.
Emotional roller coaster for this young girl getting the attention of her professor! She knows how wrong it is but doesn’t want to miss out. Well done!
Thanks, Hannah! Emotional roller coaster indeed! I think a lot about those intuitive moments. Those microseconds before you realize you've made a mistake and you're in trouble. Scary stuff. Thanks for reading!
Congratulations on the win! 🎉 Exciting!!
Thank you, been hoping for one for a long time 😊

Ugh, this is a lovely comment, Helen! Thank you! The decaying matter was a really fun section to write and once I realized what this professor was up to, it felt like a great foreshadowing moment. I'm glad it made you think, and I am just so grateful for your support! I hope to make it to your story soon!
Your story kept me excited throughout - beautiful descriptions, a high emotional impact, I could relate to the MC and feel the tension building. The ending(s) were truly fascinating - that's some proper mystery (and horror!). Thank you for a good read!
Thanks for reading Midnight! Glad it was enough mystery and excitement to keep you engaged. This was a very different style than I'm used to writing. Welcome to Reedsy and thanks again :)
Great writing! How many of those college dorm residents dreamed of a late night rendezvous with the glamorous Professor? You described it wonderfully, with wonderful metaphors of nature, and a rather erotic description of a book! The multiple endings were true horror Thanks!
Thanks for reading and the kind words, Marty!

Yikes .. if it's okay with you , I have a happy ending in mind. A gripping tale!
You can interpret it however you'd like, happy endings are good! A rare thing in my stories perhaps 😅
Chills, disgust, horror (but all in a good way!). I like the ending showing all the different paths.
Thanks for reading Kailani!

Thanks for reading, Martin! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I've had too many of these close-call moments which kind of inspired the idea. Funny you mention the "storybook" romance, because initially my idea was to take it that way, making it a happy, romantic ending. But that seemed too unrealistic, since I, too, am a bit suspicious of teacher-student relationships or any that might walk the ethical line. Though, I really liked the idea of a first date inside a library :) Thanks again!
My stories frequently take an abrupt unintended turn halfway through. My most pre-organized stories are usually my worst, and the ones that come together last-moment are my better ones. I think you made a brilliant, if dark, choice here.
I enjoyed the multiple endings the main character imagines before she opens the door. As readers, we do this along with her, trying to guess how the story ends. In real life, I don't know. I think I pull all the doors open without thinking.😊 Anyway, great story, AnneMarie!
Sometimes I do a lot of things without thinking 😂 and then sometimes I overthink everything! Thanks for reading, Karen!
Winner, winner, but no steak dinner. I found this so well written just like all the commentary.
Thanks for reading, Mary!
Thanks for reading, Mary!
Thanks for your thorough and thoughtful analysis, Danielle! I really loved playing with the image of the cerulean door being a symbol for many things - all her emotional turmoil as well as this idea that she's in deep water and doesn't quite realize the extent of her danger yet. I'm really glad the balance worked well for you and built up the suspense. It was quite a different style than Im used to and I certainly haven't mastered it yet. I appreciate your investment and time, thanks again!

Thanks for reading, Shirley! I think most professors who prey on freshmen (in any way) are a bit creepy 😬 I'm happy to hear it felt well balanced. That was a tricky thing to execute. Thanks for your feedback! I really appreciate it :)
