Summary
Our narrator explains how ever since he was younger he would always find solace in locking doors to ensure his safety. One day he is forced to rush out on an urgent matter and without missing a beat, checks to make sure he locked his front door. When he returns he finds his door ajar. He finds his house empty with nothing missing, the only things changed being that every cabinet, drawer, and door was left open. That night he sleeps with his bedroom door locked, only to be awoken in the middle of the night by someone trying to open his bedroom door.
