Fear knocks thrice...

Ah, the suspense!

I could visualize your words, that was pretty cool.
At the end, I found some humour. lol

Ha, I loved this! The anticipating and way you formatted it made everything surreal and come alive for the reader. I was expecting a house intruder or maybe that you'd wake up from a nightmare. Great ending though :)

Mr.Darcy, :))
I am sitting here with this silly grin on my face, and it seems to stay put.
Thank you soooo much for this lovely treat.
I really loved all the sound effects and the art used --- my neck hair standing ALERT :))
and the descending creaking stairs. Hillarious.
And
I could also relate to this poem not just because of the feeling of fear and darkness but the reaction that you displayed....
The knocking urges me to open it,
though my mind yells at me...

NO, DON'T DO IT!!

Like a moth to a flame I do what I must

&...

Open the door:

Well that is exactly how i handle my fears ... I just have to face it and prove it wrong or else i will never be able to go back to sleep.

Your sense of humour & suspense is awesome. You've got your finger on the pulse.

Big Fan :))
