Today was Naomi’s rare weekday off and she happily spent the day pampering herself. She slept in, played with her dog, got a manicure, and she had just gotten a pumpkin spice latte to complete her day. On her walk back from the coffee shop, an eerie feeling that someone was following her made her stomach twist up and she had to glance behind her a few times to calm her nerves. Maybe it was just that Halloween was coming up and the spookiness was making her paranoid.
She took a sip of her coffee as she entered her apartment building and took the elevator up to the fourth floor. Ignoring uncomfortable feeling still in her stomach, she pulled her keys out and opened the door to her apartment. By the silence, she could tell that her brother was out and she could relax in peace. Or so she thought. She closed the door behind her and she was only able to set her bag down on the counter before a knock prompted her to go back to the door. With her coffee in hand, she opened her door and found something worthy of a Halloween horror story.
“Holy shit. Who are you?” The paper Starbucks cup slipped from her grasp and splattered on the floor. Her hand darted to her mouth, making an awkward slapping noise as she stood in shock.
