This line immediately struck me as it taps into a universal fear of the unknown, amplifying the tension in such a short, yet powerful way.

The abruptness and repetition of the command creates a visceral sense of urgency, as if the house itself is alive and warning you.

It’s a great example of how a few words can invoke so much dread and make the reader feel like they're right there in the moment, pulling on the door with all their might.

Thanks for sharing this eerie and thought-provoking piece!
