Alice knocks on Tina’s door for the fifth time.

            “Hello! I know you are in there! Open the door!”

            She knocks again, this time it is more of a pounding!

            “I am going to break down this door!” She pounds again then pleads to the door,” Come on! We were supposed to meet Dana and Shane a half an hour ago! Damn I’m breaking in!”

            She stands back to survey the door, “Ok I can do this.” She reassures herself. She curls her arm into her body and puts her shoulder on the door. She moves back a couple of feet and runs into the door. Alice is knocked back a little but the door is unharmed

            ” Ouch! Mother Fu Oww, that hurt” She grabs her hurt shoulder with her other arm and leans against the door. She places the hand of her hurt arm on the door ***** and sighs.

            “Open the door!” She gently rocks against the door.

            “Why? Oh Why do you people do this to me?”   She rocks a little harder.

            “I have to you two going, each week one of you is a mess. And who do you call? Me,” She rocks even harder.

            “Shane is off in her own little world because some rich straight socialite broke her heart. So she is no help.” She rocks even harder.

            “Dana is wrapped up in wedding plans. I can’t believe she is going to marry that Mr. P killing, social climbing witch!” She slams into the door; she grabs the door ***** even harder. She stumbles a little bit. Giving on last try she leans back and rocks as hard as she can into the door. Her hand slips causing the door ***** to turn and the door to open, spilling Alice into the hallway of the apartment. Taking a few steps to regain her balance she stands up straight and pulls out an imaginary tape recorder.

            “Note to self:

                        ALWAYS check to see if the door is unlocked before trying to batter it down. End Note.”

            Alice looks around, seeing the living room and kitchen empty she moves down the hall to the bedroom.
