Suddenly, awakened in the middle of the night... Click... Click... Click... Click............. You ignore it and fall back to sleep

So imagine this

You live alone, 40 years old, nobody has ever visited, nor do you want anybody to visit, your family died recently, you have no friends... So calm, so... Lonely... You do your typical daily routine, check on your garden flowers they look and smell like they usually do and then you go to the pantry and grab the same granola bar you've been eating for the past two days, it's the only one left in the pantry. Still tastes the same, great. You go to work, typical work day, you're an engineer so you don't do too much outside. Probably why you don't have too many friends. You get back from work it's 9 at night and you got back home later than you usally do, you make a pretty lazy dinner. Couple of bites worth of pasta and the rest of your granola bar with some fruit juice which is fairly enjoyable actually, orange is always nice. When you finish it was about ten as you where watching TV the whole time so you go to bed and have a nice warm rest on a cold winter night. Everything is fine about your rest until you wake up... Suddenly, awakened in the middle of the night... Click... Click... Click... Click............. You ignore it and fall back to sleep. The next day is the exact same, same garden checking, same work day, same home time, same dinner, watch same shows (How is the bar half eaten again..? I never touched it) You think nothing of it and go to bed... Same time you wake up to the same noise as you did the night before... Click... Click... Click... Click............. You ignore it and fall back to sleep once again...

This continues for four more days, (Yes for some reason that one bar that was in the pantry that I eat every day keeps returning! Odd) when you finally decide to go check on the noise. It's been getting pretty annoying. You need to sweep the floor tonight anyways though. The noise seems to be coming from downstairs... That is where the broom is... You brush off your feelings and go to get the broom and see what this noise is that keeps you awake a few minutes every night. So you turn the kitchen light on and start your way down the stairs, the clicking noise gets louder as you approach the closet and then you realize with your "old" eyes that the noise is the LIGHTSWITCH... IN the closet. You need to get the broom though so you open up the door to the closet...

As you step a foot in the closet, the lightswitch stops flicking on and off. The problem is... It is STAYING off and now you are in the closet. The door slams behind you and the light turns back on. The closet is completely empty, where did the broom go? What caused the lightswitch clicking on and off?

The light turns back off, the door opens up behind you, the light turns back on.... The door is open... What awaits is something that you have to find yourself... The last noise you hear before you go deaf completely... Is one last click of the switch.
