The Dark Corner

I live on the top floor of an apartment building, and use the stairs (no elevator) to go to my house. Not that I would use an elevator at night, trapped with a stranger does not sound fun to me. Anyway, the outside lights of the apartment next door and by the stairs has a burned out light. So, as you walk up the stairs, it gets darker, and right at the corner, my breath always catches just a little with a tiny spurt of adrenaline, until I round the corner into the twilight of the dark to the light at my front door. Interesting way to return home for sure.
