Every single woman knows at least a few basic safety rules. First, don't talk the strangers. Second, don't invite strangers into your home. Sometimes, however, a lonely woman gets comfortable and after darkness falls, lets those rules slide. But with the darkness, if one believes in such things, might come creatures of the night. Throw an open door invitation into the mix, and anything can happen...

Open Door Invitation
The first time I spied the dark silhouette of a man standing just outside the doorway, cold fear swept over my limbs as a scream tried and failed to claw its way out of my throat. Paralyzed, I stood there, watching him as he watched me. No part of my anatomy would obey my brain’s commands to turn and flee into the safety of my bedroom only a few feet away. Hell, even my breathing stopped. Only my heart hammering inside my chest heard the internal pleas for my body to do something.
“You shouldn’t leave your door open like this.”
I didn’t recognize the voice. I certainly had no idea where he came from. I did start breathing again though.
