It’s late. You’re home alone. The kind of quiet where even the refrigerator sounds too loud.

Then you hear it.

Knock. Knock. Knock.

Not the wind. Not your imagination. Precise. Repeating. A knock you feel more than hear. You check the door… but no one’s there.

The knocking continues.

What do you do?

🔓 Option 1: Open the door slowly and look outside

🪞 Option 2: Look through the peephole or a nearby window first

📞 Option 3: Call someone—anyone—to talk it through

🛏️ Option 4: Stay still and silent, pretending you’re not home

🚪 Option 5: Barricade the door and check every lock in the house

What Your Choice Says About You

🔓 The Confronter

Opening the door shows you're not afraid to face discomfort—even fear itself. But it also reveals a haunting worry: that if you don't take action, something will find you anyway. Your strength is bravery. But your fear? That being passive means being powerless. You’d rather meet the darkness head-on.

🪞 The Watcher

Peeking first shows you’re cautious, analytical, and instinctively protective. You need perspective before action. Your fear is being tricked, caught off guard, or emotionally ambushed. You crave control of the unknown—but you also fear how quickly things can spiral. Still, knowledge is your armor.

📞 The Reacher

Calling someone reflects your deep fear of isolation. You believe connection makes everything safer—and you're not wrong. But beneath that is the haunting thought: What if no one picks up? You fear being alone when it counts most. Still, your willingness to seek help is a quiet strength.

🛏️ The Hider

Staying silent shows your instinct to avoid confrontation at all costs. You fear stirring the shadows. You may carry unresolved memories, past hurts, or anxiety that says: “Don’t move. Don’t be seen.” But this doesn't make you weak. You’re surviving in the way you know best—by disappearing before fear finds you.

🚪 The Fortifier

Locking everything down reflects a fear of invasion—physical, emotional, or existential. You’ve likely had to build boundaries out of necessity, and your reflex is to protect first, process later. Your fear is vulnerability… but your strength is preparation. You’re ready for anything—because you’ve had to be.

So—when the knocking came, what did you do? Your choice wasn’t just about fear… it was about how you’ve learned to survive what haunts you.

🕯️ Now it’s your turn: Share this with someone who listens for knocks too. What would they do—and what ghost might be waiting on the other side?
