Prompt: 002. stairs
1. Why are stairs and doors always louder when you’re creeping around at night?
A. Why are stairs and doors always louder when you’re creeping around at night? The last thing she wanted to do was wake anyone up, especially not the children. It would be a hassle trying to get them back to sleep and the two oldest had school in the morning.
B. Why are stairs and doors always louder when you’re creeping around at night? It was a question without an answer as he was busily sneaking through the house, gathering up any small valuables that he could find.
2. Staring up at what had to be eighty flights of stairs, he had a feeling that he was going to be late for his appointment.
A. Staring up at what had to be eighty flights of stairs, he had a feeling that he was going to be late for his appointment. He didn’t have any choice though; he needed to meet with Dr. Cavanaugh if he wanted to be included in the study.
3. It gave him a sense of pride when he realized that he’d finally saved enough money to replace the splintering stairs.
A. His wife had been complaining for months about the children getting splinters in their feet from the stairs. He finally gave in and arranged to have them repaired. Except it turned out to be more expensive than he expected. The HOA’s resident handyman had given him a reasonable seeming quote for replacing the stairs, and that was the last time things went as expected.
The next thing he knew, he was being told that he had foundation issues. There was a problem with one of the load bearing walls. There was mold growing inside the walls.
Everywhere he turned, there seemed to be more and more problems, and they became costlier by the day.
It was a nightmare.
