The doorbell rang stridently in the quiet of the afternoon. Misha looked up from her computer and peeked through the glass panel of the front door.
She couldn’t see anyone. Resigned, she got up to open the door a crack and looked through it. Still, no one was visible. But a frisson of unease ran up her spine.
“Is someone there?”
Silence…..
She pushed the door to close and bolt but it wouldn’t budge. As if something invisible was hindering it.
Suddenly someone gripped her hand and pulled her backward. She wanted to scream, but couldn’t make a sound.

Very true. But one doesn’t expects evil to come calling in the afternoon.

Evil can come anytime. If evil will tell the time, then we might get better prepared. I hope you write 999 words for such story next time. It’s intriguing
