Frog Door Knob Novels & Stories

After inserting three keys on the doorknob with her shaking fingers, she finally got the correct key. The lock clicked and Flora immediately twisted the knob and opened the door. The room looked the same as when she saw it last and she was filled with doubt if Nadi could be inside. With a feeling of dread, she closed the door behind her and slowly entered the room. There was no sign of Nadi.

With renewed vigor, I began to turn the fork in the keyhole once again. “Please open, I beg of you.” I whispered underneath my breath while still turning the fork around. A moment later, a sound of the door unlocking echoed loudly and a loud, a relieved sigh fell past my lips. I hadn’t believed that the fork could actually get the door open when I began to use it. I gripped the knife tightly as I turned the doorknob and pulled the door open.

See the Castle in a different light. Then again, the truth is I really wanted to know who Ahbaya was creeping with other than me. I checked all the secret rooms. Just as expected, it's all closed. There’s something odd about the doorknobs though. It’s all in a different color. One is red, one is gold. The other one is brown and when I looked back — mine was just an ordinary door. Huh. Odd. Should I be offended? Why is my doorknob the only one that’s plain?

With the hope of making things work out, I grab the pin on my hair, bending it at a 90-degree angle, then spreading the wavy and straight ends of the bobby pin apart so that it bends at the center and looks like an L. With a trembling breath, I stick the straight end of the hairpin about one centimeter, or about 1/3 of an inch, into the keyhole of the doorknob while applying enough pressure to bend the end of the pin into a hook. I know this will take long but I hope I can successfully open this Goddamn door before Ryle arrives. My surroundings became mute as I darted with an eye, full of concentration on the doorknob. After, I guess a few minutes of turning the pin, I heard a 'click' sound

She was just resting on the bed with Damien after their mating session, but here she was, standing in front of the door Roy had forbidden her to step into. The door was old and worn, with a sturdy wooden frame and a large iron knocker in the shape of a snarling wolf's head. The wood was weathered to a silvery gray, and the iron knocker was rusted in places, giving it a menacing appearance. Carved into the door were various symbols, each seemingly more intricate than the last.

Just because he didn’t mention it to you, doesn’t mean he didn’t. I sized up the closets and couldn’t see anything out of the ordinary, like reinforced doors, that would suggest they were designed to keep intruders out. Scooby Doo. There had to be a hidden door somewhere that led to some sort of safe room. I felt around the closet’s back panel but couldn’t find a latch or knob. There must be a hidden release mechanism somewhere. I looked around the room for anything that might serve as a lever or switch until something caught my eye. A decorative brass robe hook, in the shape of an elephant, with its trunk in the air, fastened to the wall right next to where Duke lay flat on his back.

She couldn’t understand what could be so funny, at least not until he held up his hands. He still gripped the doorknob. Both of them actually, the dented knob that had been on the inside of the room and the pristine knob that had been on the outside of the room, still connected by the spindle, the latch that slid into the jam to lock it protruding from the midway point. She glanced back at the door and saw a hole a little smaller than a baseball where the knob had been, the wood around it broken. “I did it,” he said triumphantly, holding the doorknobs up like a trophy he’d won. “I motherfucking, bet-your-ass did it!”

“Lucky for you, there isn’t a lock I can’t crack. I’ll be right back.” After returning to the bedroom, I quickly snatch up my tools and return to the door, easily selecting one of my thinner picks. This is a standard privacy doorknob with a center pin hole. I crouch down, shove the pick in and feel around, applying just enough pressure to make out the outline of the latch mechanism. This process is second nature to me, a cake walk. I have the door open in less than five seconds, the knob twisting free of the frame with a satisfying rush of air.

I want to be here for her. I find some old hinges that don’t fit properly, and a new doorknob I planned to use on the bathroom door, but it will work just as well for the front door. As quietly as I can, I try to get the door back in its frame, but the wood splintered where the hinges broke, and it’s much more difficult than I anticipated.

Ford laughs and is quite relieved that both of them are okay although he still plans to figure out how and why they were locked in. And how the latch that opens from the inside was locked although that was supposed to always be open. Apparently, Sue didn't see or know about it so there's no way she could have locked herself and her daughter inside the room and stayed there till late at night. They hadn't even eaten lunch or dinner. "Penny for your thoughts." "Do people still say that?" Ford genuinely wonders. "Well, I still say it. What were you thinking?" "There was latch you could have opened above the door to open the door on the inside. It's up there." Ford points at the small silver kno
