Psychological
A Deadly Door Knock
The knock was polite—three quick, practiced raps—so ordinary it almost made me think it was a neighbor borrowing sugar. I opened the door to see a man in his thirties with a face marked by worry lines and trembling palms, as if the cold had seeped into his bones. He glanced past me, his voice already rushing, breath hitching like someone who’d just run a race he hadn’t prepared for.

I soon realized that the sound had a rhythm, a pattern, and most disturbingly, it seemed to speak directly to me.
