For Friday Fictioneers.
Just back from 10 days in Dubai and raring to get writing again!

“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.

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.
