The Knock

Mystic stories #1

One widower heard several nights in a row, falling asleep, knocking on a plasterboard wall. Is it morse code? He deciphered. A knock meant: "I love you."
Clear! The neighbor, who lived behind the wall, obviously made eyes at him. The next day he invited her to a cafe.
They started romance, and the man was distracted from feelings about his missing wife. His mind began to heal.
They got married and went on a honeymoon trip. The repairmen, who remained to work in the apartment, dismantled the plasterboard wall, in which the owner slept, and found a female skeleton.
