Insanity Only Knocks Once

Will Graham is a mystery author who writes books about a cannibal named Hannibal Lecter. After an incident one day Will is forced to go to a psychiatrist his name, Hannibal Lecter.

I smiled softly at my friends as they left through my front door giggling and stumbling over one another. The door closes with a soft thump, but is soon followed by the sound of the multiple locks on my door. After the final lock clicks into place I let out a breath that I hadn't realized I was holding. I grip the doorknob and jiggle it a few times to make sure it is truly shut, and after I was sure the door was thoroughly locked I turned back and headed back to the room where we had just been drinking.

Oh yeah, I should probably introduce myself. My name is Will Graham, a somewhat successful author. I've written at least 25 books with 15 of them making it past publishing and 5 of those books were bestsellers. The sales have been increasing lately due to "An unexplainable character that keeps you on the edge of your seat... You can't wait to see what will happen next." Yeah, I'm sure every author wants to hear that the most memorable part of their book was the main character based off of hisself. Most people describe him as a paranoid sociopath that is the perfect character for a book. Anyway it's not like it really matters, after all it's just to pay the bills and get food on the table.

I've pretty much isolated myself for the past four years, with the exception of my few "friends" that come every now and again to "check up on me", though most of the time they're usually just coming over when they can't find anywhere else to drink. The only other person that ever comes over is my editor who just stays for a few minutes to pick up my manuscript and discuss my next novel. Anyway I digress. I should probably also mention that I have many diagnosed mental illnesses, including, social anxiety, depression, and insomnia. I am taking many different types of medication to deal with these. I know what you are probably thinking, "Oh he's just another insane author." You're actually mostly right, but I have a bit more of a problem than just this.

A soft knock comes from the door, and I see the delivery man for my building. From the peephole where I see the delivery man I can tell that he is holding a small package presumably for me. The many locks on my door are unlocked, excluding the chain lock so I could still get the package, but it is quite obvious that he is not welcome in my home.

"Hello sir. I have this package for you, but you may have to open the door a bit more for it to go inside."

"Just leave it at the door and then leave. I'll get it after you leave."

"But sir-"

"I said just leave it!"

I begin to slam the door shut, but a foot comes between the frame and the door itself to keep it propped open.

"You have to sign papers for these this time,sir. If it wasn't for that I would have just left it there like you said."
