Quickly I closed everything.



Should I call someone? The police? But what should complain about? As I turned around, a wind came gushing on my back and a shiver ran down. I turned back around.



Upon seeing the scene, blood drained up from my face. Every window and door was open. Again. But I closed them. How is this possible? Am I dreaming? Am I going...
