Kate was just getting home from a visit to her boyfriend’s house out of town, relieved to finally be home.

She put down her bags as she took her apartment key out of her purse and slowly inserted it into the lock.

As she turned the key, and subsequently the knob, she began to hear popular music, faintly, but clearly.

She gathered her bags quickly and began walking into the apartment.

It seemed that with every step she took the music grew louder, almost stronger.

She turned left into the hallway, branching off the living room and saw that her roommate’s door was closed.

She knocked several times, hoping to provoke some sort of response, but all she heard was the music, throbbing, behind the door.

She shrugged and slowly walked into her room at the end of the hall and got everything situated as it was before she had left to see Steve, her boyfriend of 2 years.
