There's a devil standing outside my door
There's a devil standing outside my door. He keeps on knocking even when I don't answer. I haven't made a peep but he seems to know I'm inside. He chants words that I've never heard before in a soft and manipulative whisper. I look out the small eye hole on my door not knowing what to expect. To my surprise, I see a circular sea of red with a black hole trapped inside it. I step back and try to process what I've seen. "It must have been the beast's eye!" I shout inside my head as my heart starts pounding like a drum. My mind is instantly flooded by a tsunami of thoughts. Did he see me? Why is he here looking for me? Does he even know who I am? I try to scream but all that comes out is a silent cry for help. The pounding is getting faster and more powerful. His chanting suddenly comes to an abrupt end. "Karen!" he yells, "If you don't pay the rent by the end of this week, you will be evicted!"
