The Midnight Visitor

My car door closes every night at exactly 2:17 AM and I live completely alone. It’s not the wind

because I hear the distinct latch click shut. I checked the cameras and saw nothing,

but my body knows. I wake up seconds before the sound hits, heart pounding.

Yesterday I found proof. The driver’s seat was reclined back, and the inside smelled

like cold air and old breath. Something invisible is sitting in my car.

Tonight, I’m leaving the doors unlocked on purpose. If it’s been getting

in anyway, I want to see if it leaves the door open when it’s done.
