Alarmed

He was an early riser.

He’d always liked to start his day early.

He was in the bathroom when he heard the doorbell go. He wasn’t sure what time it was, but he knew it was really early, much too early for someone to be at his front door. Anyway, he was grateful that he was up. His alarm clock had been playing up lately. It sounded a second time. He stopped shaving for a few beats. He stood staring at his face, half covered with shaving cream, wondering who could be calling at such an hour. Could it be important? He was considering all this, when it rang again. Should he wash his face, put his dressing gown on and go down? He didn’t think so. Annoyed, he finished shaving.

He was dressing when it sounded a fourth time! Should he now be alarmed, or was it kids, just playing a prank? Surely, any decent person ringing his door bell at this ungodly hour would have given up after ringing a second time, with the intention of trying again later.

When he finally opened the front door there was nobody there, but there was something on the step. It was a small parcel, very small. Taking it in and opening it, he realised what it was. Something he had ordered online more than a month ago!

Wasn’t he meant to sign for it?
