Doorknob Recon

Enough creeping around the dark floorboards—it was time to aim high! I scrambled straight up the heavy wooden front door frame, using the door latch groove as my personal ladder. Right above me gleamed a giant, cool brass deadbolt knob. Tee-hee! I threw my stubby arms around the metal knob and tried to twist it with all my might, but it wouldn't budge. Instead, my single antenna tapped against the smooth brass with a tiny 'tink!', catching the bright morning sun through the peephole. I kicked my feet out, spinning around like a little red ornament guarding the exit. Nobody gets outside without meeting the sentry monster first!
