Otis woke up at 6:30 am. He slept surprisingly well. He got a glass from the cabinet and filled it with faucet water. He took and sip and looked out the window. It was drizzling and very still outside. Somewhat peaceful. He turned towards his bedroom when he saw a figure standing in the doorway. It was a shadowy figure who stood completely still. Otis was in shock at first, but then the tension eased. It was his father. "Hello Papa" Otis said with a smile on his face. Then there was a knock at the door. Otis glanced towards the door and then back to the figure, but it was gone. Enraged by the disturbance Otis slammed his glass on the counter, cracking the glass and got the door. "What do you want!" Otis yelled at Clara Holloway. "Hi, Mister, but I was wondering if you wanted any Girl Scout cookies?". "IS THIS A JOKE? IT IS 6:30 IN THE MORNING! QUIT BOTHERING ME!"
Otis didn't mean to be rude. But he hadn't seen his father in years. Seeing his father delighted him, and all he wanted to do was chat.
