Scorned
“At first, it was a light rapping of knuckles. In seconds, it turned into a loud thumping sound as if the person slammed their fist against it. Claire didn’t want to get out of bed. She had a half hour before her alarm was scheduled to wake her for work, but the pounding continued. Someone was eager to get her attention and was relentless in their attempt.

Th...e loud pounding on the front door continued. “I’m coming,” She shouted while walking through the house. The knocking stopped after she announced her arrival. Her hand gripped the knob and flung the door open. The scowl on her face was meant to ward off the person responsible for interrupting her sleep, but there was no one there.

No one was walking to their car, no sign of a delivery truck, no sign that anyone was there at all.MoreLess
