[ WP ] A stranger knocks on your door and claims he/she was a long ago resident . This person tells you they are going away for good , and would like one last tour of your home . You soon realize this is no ordinary visitor .

`` But what about the bedroom? Can I see that as well?'' 
 
 `` Of course,'' was my immediate reply, but I instantly regretted it. It was the salesman smile my guest gave me that filled me with such discomfort. Perhaps I was too hasty letting a complete stranger in my home. But he said he lived here years ago. He was tall and wore a pleated suit. He carried a briefcase. It was midday. I felt no danger when he was on my doorstep. 
 But as I rose up the staircase I could n't believe what I was doing. Here I was, in front of my bedroom door. No. I will not let him in. 
 
 `` Will you let me in?'' 
 
 I opened the door and let him in. My heart was pounding. What was wrong with me? The stranger turned in the center of the room to face me with his toothy smile. It was more fitting for a monkey than a man. He said, `` Do you know the fate of the previous tenant?'' 
 
 I did. `` He died,'' I said. `` Hanged himself in the closet.'' 
 
 `` Will you show me the closet?'' 
 
 No! `` Yes.'' I walked to the closet and opened it, my hands trembling. On the ceiling was a small metal hook. 
 The stranger's voice was inches from my ear, `` Do you know what happened to the tenant before him?'' 
 
 I did n't know. `` He hanged himself too,'' I said. `` They all did.'' 
 
 The stranger held his hand out. He was holding a noose. `` Will you?'' 
 
 I did.
