Maddening Affair

I know I locked the door.

She must have found the key I hid.

She pushed with all her might against the door, as I struggled to keep it closed.

I don't know how much time passed, but she made some unexpected gains and soon a gap appeared.

She slid her foot in and caught my ankle, knocking me off balance. I was on my back. I was sliding.

I stood up, dizzied, not knowing how this could have happened.

So I grabbed the knob and twisted it. The door did not budge. But I could feel her holding tightly. Waiting.

I took a deep breath and pushed. I gathered my thoughts. I channeled my sorrows and my joys into my force against the door. My rage and euphoria combined sent me flying into my effort.

Suddenly I made some unexpected gains, and a gap appeared.

I slid my foot in and caught her ankle.

She was off balance. Sliding.
