Closing of the Shower Door

The sound of a bathroom atmosphere fills the air. A shower has just been used, its residual echo still bouncing off the tiles. An audible creak emerges, the sound of a shower door beginning to move. The door swings open with a slight resistance, its hinges protesting softly, creating a slight rattle. It's a familiar noise, the low groan of metal on metal, a soundtrack to many early mornings and late evenings. Then, there's a pause, a moment of silence before the door begins its journey back. The rattle returns, slightly louder this time, as the shower door is pulled closed. The sound is final, a definitive end to the shower ritual. The last remaining droplets of water fall from the door, hitting the shower tray with a soft, satisfying patter, and then, silence. The closing of the shower door, a simple, everyday act, is complete.
