he was still pounding on the door as I went down the stairs and shouting too. I was scared. He sounded completely out of it, but he had seen me and in a way it was his house, so I forced myself to go all the way down to the front door. It shuttered. Every time he hit it. Let me in for christ's sake! He shouted. I held the latch between my fingers but I couldn't get myself to open the door. Instead I turned around and started back up the stairs as quietly as I could if he hadn't got a key, it wasn't my place to let him in. I was only the lodger and he was out of his head on drugs. He could be dangerous. I stopped. What did it matter? Something was happening. Something out of control and unpredictable. I went down again. Only this time I wasn't bothered if he could hear me. I paused in front of the door, he was still hammering on it. I unlocked it, but he didn't realize he just kept on battering with his fist. So I opened it cautiously. As soon as he saw it open he came barging in, shoving me back against the wall as he went, lock the door, lock the door, he shouted and ran up the stairs. The door of one of the rooms up there, slammed shut after him. I locked the front door and went up to my room on the top floor, locked my own door and got into bed again. I switched off the ipad, wiped my face and throat with a towel, closed my eyes.
