Knock knock.
Who’s there?
***
Knock knock.
Who’s there?!
***
Knock knock.
Stop knocking! Who’s there?
***
Knock knock.
A door opened to the night.
Who’s knocking?
***
Knock knock.
WHO’S THERE?!
You.
A start and a look of fright.
You… who? Me? What?
***
Knock knock.
…Yes?
I am here.
Who are you?
You.
Me?
You.
***
Knock knock.
***
Knock knock.
***
Knock knock.
A door opened. A shot fired. A body fallen. A door slammed.
***
Knock knock.
Come in.
A door opened. A door closed.
***
Knock knock.
Come in.
A door opened. A door closed.
It is gone?
Yes.
How?
Heart.
Ah.
***
It shouldn’t have opened the door.
Why not?
It was deaf.
