The Open Door

Blake stopped.

He stared at the door.

He could tell at once that all was not well.

“What have we here?” he asked the open portal.

There was, of course, no reply.

Blake entered the house.

All was silent save for the dripping from the bathroom.

It was there that he found her body.

In the tub.
