Chapter 2578 Moment Of Insanity:>17
- Three Months Later:
- I awoke to the soft sounds of rain pattering against the window. It was a gentle thing at first but soon a new tempo was added when sleet joined the rain and a hard staccato was struck up by the growing storm. The wind began to grow in strength and as it did so I could hear the fluttering of the leaves on a nearby tree as well as the deep groaning of the ancient limbs moving. They were resentful for being disturbed so and creaked with their old age the same way a man might complain about his bad knee.
- I lie there listening to the melody of the storm for a while, eyes still closed when a new sound caught my attention. It was the low metallic creak of a door hinge my door hinge the door to my bedroom. An altogether and separate sound could be heard now the tinkling as from a small bell. The bell sound grew closer and it was then that I opened my eyes and saw that the door to my room was indeed open but no one was visible.
