WTF?

[cyrano]

I'm sitting here in the den playing video games, and somebody comes quietly up to the front door, depresses the latch and pushes on the door. Then they're gone. There's no attempt to use a key, no repeat attempt in case the door got stuck. This seems to be just somebody going around hoping somebody's left their door unlocked and aren't too close to the front door.

I had a terrifying dream last night that went much like this, although I hadn't read your LJ post yet. I dreamed that I was in an apartment or hotel room and someone came to the door. There was this incredible feeling of tension and fear, although I don't know why. I was very quiet, hoping they'd think no one was home and that they'd go away. Whoever it was tried the doorknob, but the door was locked. Then it was quiet for a long time. Then the phone rang, and I was convinced that they were calling from just outside the door, to see if I picked up.

Maybe I read too many books about serial killers.

Is there such a thing as too many books about serial killers? It's like too much ice cream.

Good point. I just remember reading about a guy who thought that an unlocked door was a sign from God that he was allowed to go in and kill the occupants.
