I dreamed I was a door in a library

Not a person, not a book—just a door. Wooden, old, the kind that creaks when it opens. I stood between two shelves of unread novels, and every time someone passed through me, they’d pause mid-step, like they’d forgotten something important. I didn’t know what I was guarding, only that the air changed when I opened. The dream ended when a child reached out and touched my handle—then I woke up, still feeling the weight of all those half-remembered stories pressing against my frame.
