Comfort Zone (2016)
“He didn’t get many visitors at the flat, not real ones anyway. Jehovah’s Witnesses and candidates door-knocking during council elections didn’t count. One or two of his pub mates had dropped by, and his taxidriver mate Rocco had even joined him for dinner once — admittedly only Chinese takeaway, though. Rocco had moved out west, chasing mining-boom money, and Jack hadn’t heard from him since.
The knock on the front door was subdued but insistent. It didn’t sound like a canvasser, and it was... far too regular and orderly for it to be one of his mates. Jack was intrigued. Maybe it was a new tenant from downstairs dropping by to borrow a cup of sugar.
He only had to walk about a dozen paces from the armchair to the door, so his mystery visitor didn’t have to wait long. He must have been impatient. Just as Jack grasped the door-handle, he knocked again. It was more insistent this time, with an air of ‘I know you’re in there’ about it.MoreLess
