When I was in college, I moved into a small apartment, where everything seemed normal except for one thing.
Every 2 o'clock in the morning, someone would knock at the door, and I would always leave my computer and go to the door as fast as I can. The knocking would continue until I twist the doorknob open. Whenever I opened the door, there would be no one there. This would happen every single night, and I would go and open the door each and every time.
It's so tiring and irritating, and yet I would always go and check. I just don't like the idea of having someone wait for me. Who am I to do that? I'm just a nobody.
I didn't pay it any mind, but not until I began to get busy with schoolwork. I started to need sleep, and someone's sleep-depriving prank needed to stop. So, I set up a hidden camera outside my apartment to find out who the prankster really is.
I waited and waited for the clock to tick to 2 AM. When it finally did, the prankster started to knock again just as I expected it. However, unlike previous nights, I decided not to open the door until the prankster would grow tired and leave. Instead, I just sat on my computer chair, silently laughing as I took my revenge. I felt so fulfilled, but not until the prankster started banging.
I started to feel worried and terrified. So, to not make things worse, I went to the door to face whoever is on the other side. Again, there was no one there. I feel like the prankster was watching from somewhere near, smiling as he watched me fell to his prank again. So, to get back on him, I bluntly walked to the trash can where I hid my camera. I then went back in with the camera in my hand, smirking as I take the last laugh.
I immediately turned my computer on and inserted my camera's memory card to upload the video online. I located the file on my computer and started to play the video. The feeling of fulfillment turned to fear as goosebumps crept over my whole body while I watched it.
There was no one there. No one. Just the knocking, banging, and a voice saying, "Open the door!"
