The Empty House

The first question he asked was, "where am I?". He could recognize the surroundings to an extent. It seemed that he was in his house. But, he was unsure of it. There is still that feeling that he was trapped somewhere, where it felt like it was his house. Consequently, it felt like he is here for the first time. He was standing in front of the bed, his back is against the wall. He was trying to keep an eye on the whole room. There is a door next to the bed and two other doors on each side of the room. He went to the first door and wanted to open it. He could sense that there was someone there. But, he was sure that he was alone at that house. He put his ear close to the door and heard laughter. He looked down and noticed the toes. He saw many of them and he quickly counted all of them, there were five of them. The only thing standing between him and those creatures, was the door. Without a second thought, he placed his hand on the door handle and he turned it and opened the door quickly to make sure that he sees who is behind that door. The place was empty when he opened it. He was sure that he heard them laughing. He thinks that he saw few of them vanishing into the stairs. As if there body could go through things. Strangely, he was not afraid of them. But, he thought, as long as they are on the side, they will surely stay there. He closed the door and walked few steps away from it. Then, he heard a knock on the door and then, another one. He panicked and turned to see. But, the knock stopped!
