I was sitting on the sofa, cross-checking the plan that I had made, when there was a knock on the door.
I went to the door and was about to open it when suddenly the lights went out. This terrified me a bit, but I was not scared enough to lose out on my wits. I went to the kitchen to get the candles when there were urgent knocks on the door.
"Open the door, Sara. Open the door! We are here to kill you. The time has come. Your time is up. Be a good girl. We have other ways to break into the house." Ben warned me.
When I didn't budge, they broke the door and entered. I could see the butcher knife in Ben's hand, which was glistening in the moon light coming through the window. Their evil laughs filled the room. Through the illumination of the candle, I could see them staring at me with their bloodcurdling eyes. They started coming toward me, and I started moving backwards. I was about to get hold of the kitchen knife when... SLASH!
I sat up straight, startled. It was a mere dream. I was sweating and breathing heavily, completely panic-stricken. Thank God it wasn't true, but I could still hear the knock. How was that possible?
That is when I understood that someone was actually knocking on the door. I gathered up the courage and went to open the door, still short of breath.
I was in two minds whether to open the door or not when I heard a familiar voice.
I opened the door and shouted, "You!" and flung myself at him. My happiness knew no bounds.
