creaking
One floorboard creaks after you have stopped moving.
It creaks again, softer, from under the wrong foot.
listen-resolved
You listen.
The board lifts by itself. Beneath it is a narrow door, and behind the door a man without a face sits with his hands folded.
"Halfstreet keeps what is owed," he whispers. "It does not know the difference between a debt and a child."
wrong-verb
The floorboard waits until you breathe, then creaks beneath that too.
