Description
I have heard an ominous ringing coming from the door.
My heart raced for a split second for unknown reasons;
Curiosity running through my tense veins and arteries.
I crept up from my seat slowly trying not to rush;
My hands pressed on the handles of the chair for support,
I stood tall over the floor and darkness fallen in around me,
Only showing the door and its aura around it.

I walked slowly through the darkness,
Hearing only the sounds of my shoes slap against the floor.
Du-du-du-du-du, the pace of my footsteps was steady.
My eyes were focused on my front door, I kept walking;
Time seemed to slow down more quickly.
The only thing between me and the ominous figure through the window;
A simple designed door with square figures etched into the wood.

My hand seemed to arise from my side by itself;
It could sense the signals driven through my head,
That I needed to open this door and pleasure my curiosity.
The door handle was cold as ice when I gripped around its handle;
I couldn’t hold in the feelings anymore, I swung open the door.

My eyes blinded by the sunlight outside;
The figure, still unrecognizable, until my eyes adjusted;
I heard his voice clear as a bell, if stricken twice.
“Hello sir, I’m here to offer you some products not in stores;
Proven to be worth your time and money if you just listen.”
Then he smiled as me and stared at me with his ungrateful eyes;
Trying to hypnotize me into giving my time up to be corrupted inside,
With his uncanny words and unorthodox reasons.

I was already tired of hearing his filth and slander;
Always tempting and full of propaganda, I slammed the door.
Creeping back slowly to my chair, I could still hear his ominous voice;
“Sir, if you could just give a minute to explain….”
His voice faded out of my mind after those last few words,
As I bent down and slammed down my body against the back of my chair.
“I hate salesmen people coming to my door,” I said to myself in despondency.
