The Room With the Furniture Fence

In a quiet house she shares with her husband and his younger siblings, a young woman's sanctuary is repeatedly invaded. As her pleas for privacy are ignored, she turns to quiet action-building a barrier of furniture to reclaim her peace. Inspired by a dream, this symbolic short story explores the emotional cost of shared space and the often unspoken burden of living with extended family after marriage. A reminder that some boundaries must be built when others won't protect them.

Theme/Lesson: Never move in with family-especially when you're married. Peace and privacy aren't luxuries; they're survival.
