Did the door just open by itself?
One night when I was alone, someone knocked!
Behind the curtains, I saw someone and got shocked.
Someone with fur and horrifying eyes
was sitting on the floor, someone of a very small size.
It appeared truly dreadful, it suddenly jumped on me!
I shouted a lot but also caught the cat with ease.
It was just a cat that made me feel scared!
But I forgot that someone knocked the door as I earlier said.
My heart was hammering; still I went to open the door!
Hands were shaking, my hair stood up and my blood ran cold.
I was shocked when the door opened by itself!
I went out and started searching for that someone.
I found nobody but my father's car!
Finally, I was comforted that my parents were back.
I felt relieved and shared my parents’ room.
But when I woke up,
I reflected on something that was still a mystery!
How did the door just open by itself?
