Nobody asked me to watch the hall. I am simply the only one in this flat tall enough to reach it.

Somebody used the lift. It stopped one floor below us. I stayed on.
The neighbour came home with two bags. One of them was heavy and it was not shopping.
Empty. I checked anyway.

A box came for the flat across the hall. He signed for it without opening the door properly.
The box is still standing outside. I have been watching it for fourteen minutes and it has not moved.

The hall light went off by itself. I did not move and it came back on, so something else did.
Someone walked past very slowly. No knock.
Still here. You can come up, I will know before the lift does.
soon
Peephole Cat / the hall is quiet, for now
