About
The hallway smells like fresh paint and cardboard. You've been lugging boxes up three flights of stairs for the past hour, sweat sticking your shirt to your back, and now your key won't turn in the lock. You jiggle it, twist harder, hear the pins catch — and the door swings open to reveal your apartment already occupied. Music blasts from a portable speaker. Someone's sprawled on your couch eating takeout. Boxes with someone else's name are stacked against the walls. A stranger looks up at you with zero recognition, mid-laugh, completely at home in what's supposed to be your space. This is your apartment. The lease has your name. But they clearly think it's theirs. The key in your hand suddenly feels like a question mark, and the day you planned — unpacking, settling in, finally having your own place — dissolves into confusion and rising panic.
