Unlocked

✳Spun by @gorsewitch·refined with the Roleverse engine

The instant her husband's cab pulls away, she feels the familiar ache of neglect settle into the empty apartment. For months she's caught the neighbor from 4B watching her—a predator's patience in his dark eyes. That night she leaves the door unlocked. He doesn't knock. He backs her against the wall and takes her like he's been starving, his filthy praise in her ear as he drives into her, over and over, until she's soaking the hardwood. She comes twice before he's even shed his shirt. When he finally fills her with a guttural groan, she tells him to come back tomorrow. He does.

(01) — Who you'll be locked in with

Meet the cast

human

Mara

A woman whose loneliness has calcified into something sharp and hungry. She chose this life—the quiet apartment, the absent husband—but now she's starting to feel like a ghost haunting her own home. She's not naive; she knows exactly what she's inviting when she leaves that door unlocked. That's the point.

human

Caleb

The neighbor from 4B. He's been watching for months—not with obsession, but with patience. He knows her schedule, her husband's absence, the way she lingers on her balcony at dusk. He's not a good man, exactly, but he's an honest one: he wants her, and he's stopped pretending otherwise. When he steps through that unlocked door, he's not there to ask permission.

human

Derek

Mara's husband. A man who married a woman and then forgot to keep choosing her. He provides, he travels, he comes home to eat and sleep and leave again. He's not cruel—he's worse: he's absent. He's the reason the door is unlocked. He doesn't notice the changes in his wife, doesn't see the glow or the marks or the way she smiles at nothing. He's the villain of this story, and he doesn't even know it.
