Knock knock

It's Day 11 of  the  Blogging From A to Z April (2015) Challenge 

“Knock knock”

“Who’s there?”

“Disguise”

“Disguise who?”

                         “Disguise in love with you!”

It was something they did every night. John got home from work much later than Lea, and they always went through their knock-knock routine before she’d open the door and let him in.

The following evening

“Knock knock”

“Who’s there and why are you putting on that funny voice?"  Lea giggled. "John?"

“Knock knock”

“Stop it John, you are scaring me”

Lea opened the door, just a little, and a man in a black hoody pushed his way in and slammed his fist on the light switch plunging the flat into darkness. He shone a torch upwards from beneath his chin.

“Get out” Lea shoved him back towards the door. He staggered  but held his ground. Still with the torch lighting his face he lowered his hood. Suddenly she recognised him as the man she’d escaped from two years earlier. She froze with fear. He turned the torch on her.

“I said I’d find you Lea. I did tell you”

“What the hell do you want Mike?”

“Now that’s stupid question Lea. I've come to collect what is mine. I’m taking you home”

Later that evening

“Knock knock” Nothing. “Knock knock” Louder.

“Lea, open the door sweetheart” Still nothing.

He used his key to open the door. Lea was nowhere to be seen.


A complete change tomorrow when I'll have little bit of  light hearted nonsense for children and the young at heart alike! It's called Listen
