turning the knob, finding it locked

turning the knob, finding it locked

the tension, resistance surprises
jiggle the handle
no release
you’re not welcome
on the warm side of the door

    Remember there are open arms on the other side of the doors that matter. 5204 was your house but 1012, the Southern Hemisphere and all your friends and extended family are your home😘
