He turned the key in the lock and opened the door. To his horror, he saw… (Part 1)

May I just say, my first thought (well, after something frightening) was the crazy aunt from Uninvited guest (http://lynneklet.blogspot.com/2012/09/uninvited-guest.html which for some reason is my most viewed post… I like the story, but I don’t completely understand why it’s the most popular). Anyway, let’s do something different, but still unexpected.

            He turned the key in the lock and opened the door. To his horror, he saw… the mess his roommate had left. Not just dirty dishes in the sink, but clothes everywhere, dirty clothes, dirty boxers of all things! His roommate, Josh, was more of a neat freak than he was, but he had told Josh that he was bringing his girlfriend over to their apartment for the first time. He should have known that Josh was too much of a prankster to be nice.

            He turned back to Jessica, “Just a second. My roommate left a bit of a practical joke.”

            Jessica smiled, “I can take it.”

            “No,” Kevin blurted out, closing the door as she tried to look around him. “It’s more like a…just wait here.”

            Kevin rushed into the apartment and picked all the clothes as quickly as possible. As a bit of revenge, he put them on Josh’s bed even though it wasn’t Josh’s dirty laundry. That choice would probably come back to bite him later on, but Kevin didn’t care right now.
