Erasure

Something is trying to change. It’s stopped the world around it to make it happen. Is it going to change the outcome of the game that we’ve just played? Will there be draughts on the table in place of chess pieces and a different boxed game on the sofa? The colours in the room could change as a result of different people not being around to make the decisions. Some of the colours on the mantelpiece have already begun to change. Or she could be frozen in time while everything around her ages. The pictures will stay the same, though they might attract dust, and time will tell if the plant in the corner is real or not. Much of the furniture will stay the same, though the colour of the ceiling might be a little greyer. Maybe the view through the mirror will give us a glimpse of the future.
