The Knock

Did you hear that knock at your door?


I think you did. C'mon answer it.


Go ahead - its only me. You're not afraid of me, are you? You shouldn't be. I spent alot of time on this. I'm waiting.

Look I have a package under my arm just for you. Everyone likes packages. You love deliveries. You know you want to see what it is and who its from. It's something special; I'll tell you that.


I wrapped it myself. Just for you. You know its your favorite paper and your favorite color.


Are you going to make me knock again? Please don't. I get awfully impatient. We can't have anybody see me now can we? So please hurry.


See my uniform? Doesn't that inspire trust? It should. I spent a long time making it. I think it looks pretty good. Good enough anyway. Everyone else trusted it.


And my nametag. Can't you see I'm wearing a nametag? You can always trust a guy with a nametag, can't you? It's not my name but does that matter?


If you look really hard you can see my truck parked in the street. It looks real doesn't it?


And I even put a phone number on the side. Would a bad guy put a phone number on his truck? And look at that smiley face. Everyone trusts a smiley face, right?


They're only magnets. I'll pull them off as soon as we are done. I don't think you'll mind.


Please answer the door. I've waited a long time for this. I don't have much more time. Do you know how long I've been watching you; getting your schedule down?


I know you're home. I've looked at my notes. There's no one with you, is there? I think I can hear your footsteps. Hurry up.


I promise I won't be long. I've gotten faster. Now it takes me all of about 5 minutes to finish. That's fast right? I think it is. Maybe I can be faster today.


C'mon please hurry. There's not much time left.


I can see the light change in the peep hole. I know you are watching me. I'm just a delivery man. Look at my smile.


No, sorry, I can't leave the package. You have to sign. That's the story anyway. It always works.


And I'll just need to step inside. I'll tell you I'll wait for you to go put my package down. But I won't. I'll just step inside and shut the door. I'll wait for you just inside the door as to not alarm you.


Ah, I hear the deadbolt turn. Any second now. You'll be so surprised.

@mamamia07--See? The Power of Positive Thinking

Granted, it wouldn't be as effective if those stories ~usually~ turned out that way (as they do in real life). But who knows? Maybe that level of positivity would make the negative imaginings even scarier and even more-surprising! ---Uncle MythMan Enlightens You on Money Here!

The Bad Guys Seem to Be Nearing Redemption These Days, MiaNorth.

Like the latest Joker (in The Dark Knight) or Lex Luthor in a few of the latest Justice League Unlimited cartoons (so I watch a few late-night cartoons ...), they're beginning to start with reasons other than 'because I'm evil' or 'because I'm from "the devil"' etc. ---although a lot of producers make it easier by mentioning that 'the good guys' aren't so pristine (again, one of BATMAN's main selling-points was that he was a 'denizen of the dark;' HANCOCK was practically a thug! BLADE, vampire; HELLBOY, demon; etc.) ---Uncle MythMan Enlightens You on Money Here! Xombies Enlighten on Money, Love, God ...Turn Xombie & Help!

Little background

This is actually a take-off of a theme I wrote a long time ago in college. That one - which was more similiar to The Night post - was written during the murders in Gainesville by Danny Rolling. Basically, he was targeting young female students. I was going to school at UF and also working in the Police Department. Trust me when I say, in the beginning they had no idea what the hell was going on or had any idea who was behind them. There was no sign at any of the scenes of forced entry, he was "cleaning" the scenes (in a very bad way)and the murders grew everyday. To make matters worse Rolling liked to pose the victims for maximum effect. While I never saw a crime scene I knew some officers that did and their descriptions and the way it affected them will never leave me. Very scary time. Other than working a ton of hours it really didn't affect me until he killed a guy then it really hit home - this guy was going to kill any and everything in his way. I had a lot of sleepless nights during that 3 or 4 weeks. Anyway, a delivery man was one of police theories - creepy, huh? Thanks for the comment :)

So He Noticed a Loose Screw on the Lock and Wanted to Check It!

When she opened the door, he had her sign for the package and then whipped out his trusty screwdriver to straighten the screws in the lock. He asked, but she didn't know how the screw had gone crooked---though it could be the ...
