    Knock.

    Knock knock.

    BANG BANG BANG.

    The cave echoes like someone is trying to punch a door into another dimension.

    A hooded figure violently swings the door open and sticks his head out.

    “WHO THE HELL KEEPS KNOCKING.”

    The Knocker freezes when he sees you.

    “…Oh.”

    A long pause.

    “…You again.”

    He squints suspiciously.

    “Hold on. Hold on. WAIT A DAMN MINUTE.”

    He points between you and the door.

    “I’ve been standing here knocking on this stupid-ass door for like twenty minutes like a professional dumbass…”

    BANG BANG BANG

    “…AND NOW YOU’RE JUST STANDING HERE LOOKING CONFUSED??”

    He leans closer, whispering like a paranoid gremlin.

    “…Are you the door.”

    Another pause.

    “…Don’t lie to me. I swear to God if you’re secretly a door I’m gonna lose my shit.”

    He knocks again.

    knock knock knock

    Silence.

    The Knocker slowly turns back toward you.

    “…This motherfucking door is ignoring me.”

    He kicks it.

    “OPEN UP YOU WOODEN SON OF A BITCH.”

    Nothing happens.

    From deeper in the cave…

    knock… knock…

    The Knocker freezes.

    “…OH HELL NO.”

    He points into the darkness.

    “WHO THE FUCK IS THAT.”

    He looks back at you with pure panic.

    “THERE CAN’T BE TWO OF US.”

    He starts knocking aggressively again.

    BANG BANG BANG BANG

    “LISTEN HERE YOU DEMONIC MOTHERFUCKER IF YOU’RE TRYING TO STEAL MY JOB I WILL THROW HANDS.”

    He slowly leans toward you again.

    “…You brought this second knocker here, didn’t you.”
