[ WP ] Write a story beginning with : `` Are you buying that or what ? ''

`` Are you buying that or what?'' my wife said with a strange, emotionless face as she looked straight ahead. 
 
 We both stood there with the front door pulled open as far as the chain let it go. The girl on the other side stood in the cold, having just explained how she was stranded. She looked to be in her early twenties, and not well taken care of. Her demeanor told me she was not used to being helped. Not used to the compassion of others. 
 
 `` No one will help me'' the young girl said. 
 
 I had such a strange feeling. I looked past her, but could see nothing in the darkness. I leaned my arm against the wall and turned away in thought. 
 
 I pushed the door closed, and undid the chain.
