Originally 1000 words, if you need any info, happy to give it to you
Clara is 19living with her alcoholic and compulsive hoarder parents. Her house is full of mold, cockroaches and empty bottles. The only clean place is her bedroom, which she obsessively cleans every day.
She's an excellent student trying to win a scholarship to join her older sister in America and escape her life. At night, she works at a pub and sleeps only three hours a day. Her greatest obsession, however, is writing. She dreams of becoming an author, partly because she craves approval and partly because she sees it as her only chance at the life she wants.
One night, during a sleep paralysis episode, a demon offers her a deal: if she gives something up, she'll finally have time to write. Soon after, she begins waking up in a mysterious doorless room beneath a green lake, where she can spend hours writing while only sleeping a few hours in reality. Everything she writes appears in her notebook in an almost illegible handwriting.
It should be ambiguous whether the demon is real or merely a manifestation of her neurosis.
As the story progresses, her obsession slowly takes everything from her: her studies, her scholarship, the cleanliness of her room, and eventually her dignity. Desperate to keep sleeping and writing, she becomes dependent on sleeping pills and makes increasingly self-destructive choices.
Eventually, she dies from an overdose immediately after writing the last words of her novel. Her sister publishes it posthumously, making it a huge success. In the epilogue, Clara remains trapped forever inside the room. She gave her soul for writing.
She's not meant to be a victim. Many people will try to help her, but she will always choose her obsession.
