Weekly Contest #372
The noise was sort of a rattling, with a bit of tapping thrown in, and a thump every now and again. It wasn’t always there, but it never went away for long. Ollie started to slam his teacup on the counter, but he stopped himself, because it was a rather old teacup, and probably wouldn’t stand up to the strain. “There’s that racket again!” he said to himself, stalking over to his chair with his tea. “What does he do down there?

Josie Blanchflower didn’t even notice until she opened the front door (her front door, now; she and her boyfriend had signed the papers ten hours earlier). She shifted the cardboard box she was carrying onto her right arm and tried the light switch with her left hand. When it failed to illuminate the room, she was too tired to do anything but groan.
