OCTOBER 4th-"In all of the time that I have lived alone in this house, I swear to God, I have closed more doors than I have opened."

“In all of the time that I have lived alone in this house, I swear to God, I have closed more doors than I have opened.” I told Cat, as we sat down for tea, “At first I thought I was going crazy, but about a month ago, I started making little traps…” Cat looked at me expectantly, but before continuing I made sure to look around the room, and check that the bowl of burning sage wasn’t depleted. (The best cleansing herbs I could find).

Finally, I lowered my voice continuing, “I hung small wind chimes on the doorknobs. At first nothing happened, and in all honesty, I wasn’t even sure what I expected to happen. I mean, why would I think something would happen? That would be insane! I really, really, wished nothing happened. I would have been much happier thinking I’m acting ridiculous, but…”

“But something did happen.” Cat finished for me.

“Something did happen.” I agreed, “I was in the shower; the water was loud, so at first I didn’t hear a thing. A moment later, there was a tinkling. I thought it was my imagination, but then more tinkling started. I got out of the shower, the washroom door was already opened…and so was the bedroom door, and the basement.”

“What did you do next?” Cat asked.

“Nothing at first. I didn’t want to believe, you know? I tried convincing myself that I left those doors open. I mean I live alone, it’s not like anyone’s going to barge in on me! I even took the chimes off. But then a few nights later, I was watching Netflix on my bed. I know the door was shut. I had hit pause, to answer a text message and I heard the doorknob turn. It’s a little stiff, so you have to be pretty firm. There was no denying anything now.”

“It opened and nothing was there.” Cat stated. I nodded my agreement. The hallway had been completely empty. “And that’s why you’ve called me? You want whatever it is gone?” Cat asked. I took a sip of my tea, before responding, “Well, not exactly.”

“Not exactly?” Cat questioned, surprised.

“Well, you see. I kind of like the company. I come from a big family, and the noise is sort of comforting.” I replied, a little sheepishly.

Cat looked at me baffled, then asked, “Then why do you need a medium slash exorcist?”

“I just want someone to tell them to shut the doors after themselves once in a while. It’s getting really exhausting.”
