Frank had lived alone for many years, fully content with his quiet, isolated existence.
A sudden knock on a Saturday morning startled the grouchy old man, filling him with instant annoyance.
Opening the door, he found a sixteen-year-old girl standing on his porch before she could say a word.
Frank bluntly rejected every potential sales pitch before slamming the door right in her face.
When the persistent teenager rang the doorbell again, Frank ignored it and turned up his TV volume.
The television news broadcasted an urgent hurricane warning heading directly toward his city.
Frank dismissed the approaching storm, confident that his sturdy basement could withstand any weather.
He assumed slamming the door was the end of the encounter, unaware of the impending danger outside.
The severe hurricane would soon trap both of them inside the house together during the storm.
Surviving the storm together would eventually reveal her shocking, hidden connection to his forgotten past.
