The Door Was Open

by:

The door was open.

I was walking without heading anywhere when I saw the house. It was bigger from what I remembered, or so it looked.

I got closer to it, while I was remembering everything I’ve heard about that house when I lived in the city, long time ago.

I pressed the doorbell, but I didn’t hear any sound, so I knocked the door. When I did, I noticed it wasn’t closed. I pushed it and came in.

“An ordinary and common house”, I tought. The door closed behind me. I turned over, scared, but I understood it should be the wind.

-What can I do for you?- I heard the voice of an old woman upstairs.
-Oh, sorry, Mrs, the door was open and...- I answered nervous.
-But now it’s closed, right?
-Well, yeah, it looks like the wind closed it...
-Oh, of course, the wind... you should be more careful, youngster...
-Well now, excuse me, I’ve got to go now...- I said, opening the door.

“An ordinary and common house”, I tought. The door closed behind me. I turned over, very scared.

-What can I do for you?
I was inside of the house again.
