The Apartment
It is a cool day in mid October. You slept in since you are on vacation from work. You're awaken by loud banging at the front door of your apartment. You reluctantly jump up and reach for your phone on the end table, but it's missing. The banging persists. You throw on a random t-shirt from the laundry basket in the hall. You yell down the hall, 'Who's there?'
"It's Rory! Hurry and open up!" The banging stops suddenly. You're long time friend Rory responds. He sounds frantic. As you get closer you hear a woman's scream and police sirens roaring. Your cellphone on the kitchen counter is buzzing off the charger. You fling the door open without looking and dash for the phone. The ringing stops before you can answer. You have 27 missed calls. You look back at the door, but no one's there.
