Peep: 3 Short Tales

By Aki Kaza

The home is a haven, one to which we retreat at the end of a harrowing day, inside of which we let ourselves fall into the most vulnerable realm of sleep.

The door, a barrier, separating the safety of the home from the unknowns of the outside world.

We choose who we let into our homes, using the peephole to see who's on the other side of the door... but sometimes, things find a way in without our permission.

Take a PEEP at what happens when something sinister comes knocking on your door.

He stood there for a moment, then turned to me and frowned.

Who is it? I asked.

Tim didn’t answer me. He looked through the peephole a second time. The seconds ticked by. I tried to focus on the TV, but my nerves were starting
