Caroline moved into a cul-de-sac where every house was identical. No one answered the door. Her questions about the missing mail, the humming fences, the child waving from the attic were all met with silence.
One morning, beneath her doormat, she found a note in her own handwriting: Don’t ask.
AJ writes microfiction. She’s been published in VSS365 Anthology (Vol. 1), 50-Word Stories, Paragraph Planet, and 101 Words. She also loves cats, which is legally required for writers of her genre.
OMG – 50 word sequel, please!
I love the questions this raises. xx

Hi, A J,
I don’t understand this. If no-one is answering the door and there’s no-one around, then who is she asking questions that were met with silence?
Thank you reading. I love a good mystery :)
spooky. creepy. very well written. Good job. “in her own handwriting,” the coup de grace! excellent.
Thank you for reading! :)
