Picture this: You come home, exhausted after a tiring day, with only one desire—to flop down on the couch. And then, you come face to face with a chilling detail… A bright red stain, right next to the lock. It looks like wax, or worse: a signal left by someone with bad intentions. A burglary in preparation? A secret marking? What if this seemingly innocuous story actually hides a little unexpected twist… and frankly, a funny one?
The worry is rising: what if someone tried to break into my house?
That evening, like many of us after a long day, I dreamed of only one thing: slipping into a blanket with a cup of tea. But one detail changed everything. As I approached the front door, my eyes fixed on a red, oddly shiny spot right next to the keyhole.
My heart races. I scan the area; the hallway is empty… but this trace doesn’t reassure me. « Is it a thief? A mark to come back later? » —the scenarios play out in my head like a detective series. Instinctively, my hand slides to my phone to call the police.
