Man Out There
There was a knock on the cabin door.
Deborah looked at her phone. There was no service out here but it could still tell the time. 2:30 a.m.
The knock repeated, louder, more urgent. Perhaps someone was hurt. Or lost in the woods. But in the middle of the night, it wasn't her problem. She prayed for whoever was outside to just go away.
Deborah came to the cabin for peace and quiet. Now she was crawling on the floor as quietly as possible, peaking out the window.
Her worst fears were realized. There was a man out there.
