Characters Bedroom


A stream of light is cast across the creaky hardwood flooring through the arched windows. The rich mahogany bed frame fills the room with a musty scent of aged wood. On the bed is a dark green duvet neatly pulled across the mattress except for a thin diagonal crease. The white pillows are freshly fluffed with a gold trimming made of woven silk. A tall white dresser stands opposite to the bed below a painting of rolling hills. Each drawer on the dresser has a gold handle. Atop of the dresser is an old oval mirror that sits alone and centered. A nightstand is beside the bed with a weathered copy The Holy Bible that has been handed down for generations. Almost every page has been dog-eared from its multiple front to back readings. A glass of bubbling tonic water is set on the bed and the sizzling can be heard alone.
