The Man On The Stair
It wanted my attention!
An icy breath of air hit me in the face, whispering something in my left ear.
I looked up at the staircase, narrow and active, only to see its black hair dangling over the banister, and its face blank.
I froze yet was intrigued.
Am I going mad?
I called out to it, "Who are you?"
Then it was gone.
I started to think it was the same thing that "pushed" the towels off the banister, even damp ones!
I called him "the towel man."
I am a "skeptic on the turn," although he’s long gone.
