doors - a 100 word novel
Charlotte's whole life felt like different doors. Stretching for the handles when she was too small to reach. Listening behind doors to adults - and later to her friends. Slamming of petulant lovers. Most of all she liked the physicality of doors. The tangible presence of gloss paint. The variety of handles, hinges and other practical or decorative features. She loved the simple mechanism of doors.
Her grandparents' house had hinged wooden shutters that folded into recesses on either side of the windows when not in use. When Charlotte visited with her parents she was always allowed to close these shutters.

For a while now I've been unhappy with the various tags I use. At present there are around 46, and they're not very clear, even to myself. Over the next few weeks I'll be going through every post here (486 currently) and rationalising.
There will be around 26 tags after that's complete, which will be a lot clearer.
