The Passage

The knock on the door feels like a hammering in my chest. Tensed, I look around. My mind doesn’t seem to comprehend why I am not opening the door. Intensifying sound of the knock makes me very uncomfortable; makes me fearful of the consequences of opening the door. I step away from it. Oblivious to the table that cornered the room and was behind me, I nearly stumble and fall. But I gather myself before it happens.
