A Real Life Tiny Tale of Terror
Someone is trying to terrorize me. Three or so times a week for the past three weeks someone has knocked on my door between two and four in the morning. They don't just knock--they knock on the front door, then the back door, and again on the front door. I have always felt very safe in my small town and used to go for a walk about midnight or so when all was quiet. I pretty much have left my house unlocked so I don't have to transfer from the recliner to my wheelchair, and then back again. I have someone who comes almost every day--nurse, homemaker, social worker ... and so on. They knock on my inside door and I say, "Come in." At night, I have left the door unlocked in case the paramedics need to help me get up if I fall which I tend to do. A couple months ago, I started locking up due to some family issues, and am glad I did now that I have this mystery knocker. Am I afraid? ... yes. Do I think they would physically harm me? ... I hope not. I think it is just harassment. I have a couple suspects in mind. They aren't jilted lovers or anything, but I won't post who they are. Fortunately, I live within two blocks of the police station. I have been using my lifeline system to call for help because it makes a very loud beeping noise, which can be heard outside, hoping that gets them to leave. All I have to do is yell, "I need the police," and Lifeline calls 911 for me. I know I am not imagining this, unless my beagle imagines it at exactly the same time. The police arrive quickly, but not quickly enough to apprehend the knocker. I don't mean to alarm anyone, but needed to share it with you, my supportive system. It happened once again at 3:00 am this morning. My already disturbed sleep is now nonexistent. I hope they get bored with this, or that the police catch them soon. If you read my first Tiny Tale of Terror, I truly do now stay close to my claw hammer after dark, just in case ... This one isn't a he-he-he, but although a bit too long, seemed like it belongs in this book.
