She heard the doorknob rattling. She peeped through the adjacent window and there wasn’t anyone. But the doorknob still rattled adding to her nervousness.
It was just like the time she walked back home from work. She was sure that someone was following her, but no one to be seen. And this time, she wasn’t going to tell her suspicions with anyone else just to be called as paranoid.
And she went back to the bed with the unsettled feeling settling in her mind.

This is scary. That’s why I never stay alone at home but I do for a long walks. Will miss it today.

Dear Vinitha, Leave a porch light on, but, I don’t like it when someone comes to my door unannounced at night. In this case, she is not paranoid – there really is a monster out there! Well done! Nan

Who was it? we often have such feelings right? We know someone is there but then it’s unseen..no rational explanation to what we heard and thought we saw sometimes

Last night, I heard my screen door rattle and then there was a knock on the door. I wasn’t expecting anyone. I brought all those feelings to mind as I read your short piece. Well done.
