Hello, Stranger(100-Words)

October 19, 2021
Nothing More, Nothing Less

The stranger’s returned.

As usual, he stands at the door and just tap, tap, taps away at my sanity. A thin barrier that continuously grows thinner. 

People say, don’t let the stranger in, once he’s in you can’t get him out. People say that’s a bad thing. With each tap, tap, tap, I become more unsure of that.

He wants me to open the door myself, it’s why he doesn’t force his way in. Instead, he just tap, tap, taps.

The only thing holding back the stranger is me… and I don’t think I can hold him back any longer.
