The Whisper at the Door

Dave always hated sleeping with the door open.But one night,the latch on the door refused

to close. No matter how many times he tried ,it kept swinging back with a slow ,

dragging creak. He ignored it but around 2 am he woke up to a sound. A soft tap...tap...tap,

like someone gently knocking outside the door. At first he thought he was dreaming,

until he realized it was coming from the hallway. Right outside his door.

But then the tapping stopped. Silence. Then a whisper drifted through the door.
