Submitted to Contest #96

Knock Knock Knock.My eyes fluttered open as I was greeted by the darkness of the night. I heard the rain outside my house as lightning flashed through my window. In a tired daze, I listened, trying to determine if the knocking was real, or if I had imagined it. I turned my bedside light on. The clock on my nightstand read 2:29am.Knock Knock Knock.I heard it again. The knocking was real, and it sounded much louder this time. “Dammit…” I grumbled as I threw my blankets aside.

Submitted to Contest #83

Author bio

I typically only write stories when its one that I want to tell. I tend to create focused, character driven narratives involving a nature of some sort, be it human or otherwise.
