“Knock-knock”.
“Who’s there?”
“Disguise”.
“Disguise who?”
“Disguise in love with you!”
It was their nightly routine when John arrived home.
The following evening
“Knock-knock”.
“Who’s there and why the funny voice?” Lea giggled.
“Knock-knock”.
John, you‘re scaring me!”
Lea edged open the door and a man in a hoody rushed in.
“Get out!” Lea shoved him but he held his ground. He lowered his hood. It was the vile creature she’d escaped from years earlier.
“I said I’d find you, Lea”.
“What do you want Mike?”
“Stupid question, Lea. You’re coming home”.
Minutes later.
“Knock-knock”. Nothing. “Knock-knock”, louder.
John opened the door. Lea was nowhere to be seen.

Oh no! What happens next, Keith?! Enjoyed this 😊 And hope you had a nice time in Dubai ☀️
I wish I knew, I’ve got myself wondering! I had an amazing time thanks Sunra.
I hope you let us know soon. We need to know what that bugger Mike is up to! 🙂
Let me think……!
Poor John.. lea is not there to open the door. Interesting story
Poor john indeed. Thanks, Vartka.
Too scary.
That’s what I thought!!! Cheers Sadje.
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Knock knock.
Who’s there?
Me. Rochelle saying scary biscuits this one. Glad you’re back, Keith.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Scary biscuits, interesting! Great to be back, Rochelle.
You packed a lot into this little tale, Keith
There was a lot more in the first draft! Cheers, Neil.
Knock knock…I am thinking that Michael is Russian,
Given the current situation, he could well be. Thanks, Michael.
Vicious how routines can be.
They are fun when they’re going well. Cheers Bear.
Chilling. Dying to know more.
Me too, I may do a follow-up!
Creepy ! Won’t play knock knock anymore 😉
Oh. go on!
Knock knock.
Who’s there?
Uni.
Uni who?
Uni thing you can do I can better!
Welcome back, Keith. Very ominous story. Wonder what happens next? What will John do?
Thanks so much. I’m sure he’ll be straight on the case!
Not the funny knock knock joke I was expecting… Hope this isn’t a reflection of your time in Dubai!
Fortunately not, nor in Scotland the week before!
Sad one. Hope Lea comes back safe.
From “disguise in love” with her to – the other obsessed guy who found her after 3 years…poor Lea & John.
I’d like to think she will. Thanks, Anita.
It’s a cliff hanger. I want to know what happens next.
Have a fabulous day, Keith. 🙂
You and me too Sandee!
Terrifying! I hope she was able to leave a clue so he can find her. Welcome back from Dubai!
Now that’s a thought, I wonder! Good to be away from that searing heat, but I did have a great time.
Glad you are back home in your paradise location.
The tech security folks tell us we should change our passwords once in awhile. Now we can see why.
Welcome back.
Perhaps they should have changed it to nicknack! Thanks, Christine.
That’s a sneaky story, Keith, with its humorous start and its chilling ending. Well done.
Like so many things in life. Cheers, Penny.
Never open the door, that’s what i’ve learned.
Always have spy hole I say!
A streak of terror tales! Feel bad for John so oblivious to his friends demise.
Hopefully, things won’t be that bad. Thanks for dropping by.
Hi Keith – good to see an appropriate story-line … I do hate horrors! Cheers Hilary
They are OK in small doses! Thanks, Hilary.
Should have got a video bell. Looks like Mike intends to keep her and John will have to go looking for her, knocking on many doors.
Good point, a shame they didn’t have one.
the ending knocked me out. totally unexpected. 🙂
I’m pleased to hear it, I hope it didn’t hurt! Cheers plaridel.
Oy. Oy. I think someone’s gotta knock the sense into Mike (and any man) who thinks he can grab someone and drag her with him just because he wants to.
I’m sure John will when and if he catches up with him.
Oh dear, Keith. I see what ten days away has done with your sense of humor. It’s cast a dark shadow. Well done.
It wasn’t being away, it was having to come back! Cheers, Bill
Good to hear that you enjoyed your visit.
This gave me the shivers. So well done, Keith!
I wasn’t expecting that – it turned dark very quickly 😮
Oo. I wasn’t prepared for that twist. Mike’s been watching for a while it seems. That makes him even more sinister.
How overwhelming for john but ragic for Lea.
I hope no harm came to her. You left me with the want for more, Keith.
Have a wonderful Sunday … Isadora 😎
Alert! Comedian Keith is stranded in Dubai and someone sent a frightening mystery writer back in his place. There might be a reward…. j/k Unexpectedly frightening, Keith.
Very interesting! Kind of hear wrenching though!
