Convulsions

Hearing the loud noise from behind Mildred's door made me a little concerned.

I furrowed my brows.

"Mildred?"

There was no response. However, once I listened a little closer, my ears just barely picked up on several faint thumps. I called out a little louder than last time.

"...Mildred?"

There was no response.

Was she being attacked?

After a few moments of deliberation, I decided it was best to be safe, even though this might be a breach of privacy.

I grasped the door handle and pushed hard against it. But it would hardly budge. I clicked my tongue.

This wasn't exactly the most convenient time for this...

I pushed against the door harder and also tried shaking it back and forth. However, that did little except make a few jiggling sounds.
