about traffic stop signs. Regard the situation at hand, and, taken aback, propensity forces the mind to think; neglect this subject matter if it is a burden on your brain.

Inconvenience, we grumble, is senseless (especially in this era of technological pace). Still what is so often haphazardly followed, as the stop sign ― unless

I didn’t notice my body shaking until I saw my pointer finger tremble nervously as it hovers over the doorbell. I have nothing to be afraid of, I know that. I’ve rung this doorbell countless times before. I’ve even skipped the entire process and just let myself in more times than that. I have nothing to be afraid of.

I looked towards my wooden bedroom door, which was being pounded by someone on the other side. It seemed like someone was trying to open it.
