Flip flap

Bang goes the front door.

I frown.

Flip flap. Flip flap.

Clank! The keys land on the table.

Flip flap. Flip flap.

The sound comes nearer and nearer.

Flip flap. Flip flap.

I brace myself.

Flip flap. Flip flap.

I roll to the side

covering my head with a pillow.

Flip flap. Flip flap.

Bang goes the bedroom door.

I grimace.

The whole house vibrates.

Peace and quiet restored.
