The banging on the wall woke Iris and when she opened her eyes, she screamed like a banshee. A man, wearing blue overalls, was breaking the length of the wall in the basement at six in the morning.
She screamed and scrambled to get out of the bed, pressing herself on the wall next to her bed, which she seemed to be doing a lot these days because of the crazy old vampire that she lived with.
"Good morning," the man in blue overalls, grumpily greeted her.
"Who are you and what are you doing here?"
"My name is Elmer. I am told to break this wall," he said in a monotone as though he didn't find anything strange with the idea of going to someone's basement and breaking their wall.
Iris pushed herself away from the wall and opened all the lights in the basement. The lights flood the dark room. She could confirm her hunch. Elmer or whatever this man's name was, has glassy eyes, moving like a programmed robot.
