The Attic Door [SS2019]

Jerry watched the attic door intently. He knew something was in there. This was his second night here and he had the sinking suspicion that he was not alone. He kept hearing noises. The door banged open. Jerry screamed.

Detective Tanner stood over the corpse. He knew he wasn’t alone.

Beauty SM. Sounds like an intro for "True Detective Stories". You should write.

Well done.

Thanks. It was inspired by stories about homeowners who find people living in their attics or crawlspaces.

Wow! I know what you're talking about there. Went to some calls many (many) years ago. Will never forget one creep bursting out of a wardrobe. Scared the crap outta me. Another one was hiding in the roof and some idiot lived under a house. (all homeless of course).

That's really creepy. I think there was a Gary Busey movie where his character lived in a secret attic room.
