Knocking Again
You knock again on the door, louder this time. You strain your ears to listen for any sounds of movement. Although you think you might be safe from what was stalking you in the woods, you'd really rather be inside. You knock again and you are startled by the unexpected voice that echoed from within. You took a step back from the locked door. The moonlit night seemed to hold its breath as the spectral words lingered in the air. "It's not time yet," the old woman's voice whispered, carrying with it a haunting wisdom that resonated with an otherworldly cadence.
