Classic. This one has classic written all over it. You know, toward the end I actually thought that the protagonist had wandered drunkenly into the wrong house, and was inadvertently breaking-and-entering, but I thought wrong. The ending was pretty nice, I think that the twist speaks for itself, but it is open for interpretation.



Is this person a former resident of the house, as alluded to the line “I'm so sick of people thinking this house belongs to them.”?



Is the protagonist a ghost? Did he die here?



He must be insane. I liked how the story is subtly divided into two narrators, the calm one telling John to relax, and the panicked one urging John to worry. From this I theorize that the protagonist is alive and very much insane.



You know you’re doing a good job when people come up with fan theories about your work. Congratulations!



Concerning Grammar:



Paragraph 2, you wrote: It was extremely early morning, and no one knew I had gone.



This sentence might read a little easier if you insert “in the” after “early” and before “morning”.



<p class="MsoNormal">This sentence also worries me, because the protagonist identifies the time as 1:52 AM

<p class="MsoNormal">Now I feel weird for having read this story at 5:00 AM xD
