Forever Changed

Suddenly, I felt very scared but the absolute silence in the apartment made me believe that no one else was in there anymore. The front door was left unlocked so maybe the thief had left already. I doubt that our family had any valuables or treasures that were worth stealing. Regardless, I thought that it would be a good idea if I checked all the rooms. Apart from the living room, the apartment only had two other rooms which were my parent’s bedroom and my bedroom.

I decided to head to my parent’s room first. Just like the front door, the door to my parent’s room was unlocked. I strained my ears to listen to the sound inside when I stood in front of the door, but I couldn’t make out any sound on the other side of the door. After taking in a deep breath to calm myself, my hand slowly turned the doorknob before pushing the door opened.
