Lurker
“The rest of the house was spotless and shining, filled with glass and metal and marble. The only concessions to forestry were the hardwood floors throughout and a series of bookcases in her father’s den, but even these were sanitized, the pine having been bleached near white. Everything beyond her bedroom door was modern and cold. Mandy just didn’t like it, even though her friends thought the minimalist gleam was cool. In defiance of all things sleek, Mandy had a cherrywood bedroom suite with a... matching computer desk. Her bed was covered in a thick fabric with an intricate print of swirling crimson, brown, and gold. Last year, she had insisted that her mother buy her a deep red cotton rug to cover the floor, because the polished boards made her think of a bowling alley. While her mother kept all the glass and stone tabletops clear, save for the well-placed bronze or crystal knick-knack and silver picture frame, Mandy used the surfaces in her room. Books and magazines, CDs and DVDs, school papers and pictures of her friends were everywhere: on her desk, on her chest of drawers, stacked in neat piles on the floor.MoreLess
