I was backing up the photos of my phone today and I found some which I took on the day

of the incident.

I gave it some thought and decided why not share it on here, being anonymous and all that.

Maybe this can even serve as a PSA of sorts to always trust your gut feeling.

Last year, I was living by myself at the time.

Before my partner and I moved in together, for some background, my partner used to work

very hectic shifts.

Sometimes he finishes at 5 pm, sometimes 6, sometimes 9, and he would let me know if he'd

be dropping by that day, though he usually wouldn't give me the exact time, but at least

I knew he'd be coming by.

I was around 8 pm and I was upstairs in the bedroom, working on an embroidery project.

I had my AirPods in, so I wasn't too aware what was going on around me.

I remember filling the bed rattle, since my bedroom was right above the front door.

So whenever someone closed the door, seeing that it was very old and heavy, it always

rattled my bed frame.

This week usually indicate that my partner had arrived.

I didn't immediately go downstairs to greet him, as I really wanted to finish the piece

I was working on.

I was about 5 minutes before I took out my AirPods, and I proceeded to make my way out of my

bedroom and onto the stair landing.

I was about to call out for him when I realized that he didn't leave his work jacket or work

boots in the entryway.
