A knock comes at your door, time to meet your &...
*Bambambam*

Three sharp raps fill the air and make you jump.
Your gaze snaps over to your front door and for a moment you stare into the carved wood finish.
Who could that be? I’m not expecting any visitors, you tell yourself.
Maybe it was one of your neighbors, though usually, they didn’t make a habit of speaking to you all that much; you kept to your own affairs and them to theirs and that suited you just fine.
Or maybe it was your landlady coming to demand her overdue rent; if that was the case then you'd rather not face her right now.

Whoever it might be, their arrival was timely, as you were starting to freak out a little.
"Hold on, I-I'm coming," you call out, hoping that they don’t hear the trembling in your voice.
You hastily brush your hair into something that doesn't look like an unmanageable muss and walk over to the door to pull it open, and put on your best smile. Even if they did come unannounced that was no reason to be rude.
After giving your clothes one more brush over to smooth out the wrinkles, you grab the knob and pull open the door.

“Hello there. How may I help youuuuuuuohmyGod”,
Your smile is replaced by a look of sheer befuddlement as your mouth drops open.
You take a single step backward and reel at the sight before you stammer out a quick, "H-h-h-how may I help you?"
