Kapitel 101: A Rat Walked Into a Bar

🅿🅰🆁🅺🅴🆁

I knock against the door.

"Yes?" A voice yells from the other side. "Password?"

"Chorizo."

"I didn't hear you! Speak a bit louder!"

I roll my eyes and take a deep breath.

"Chorizo!" I scream.

At that moment, the entrance door behind me opens and I turn around to an older woman, looking at me in shock.

I don't blame her. I must look like a lunatic right now.

"Rice. Uhm...peppers. Onions." I continue talking to myself, trying to play it off.

The grandma still stares at me, probably thinking about calling the police.

Please no.

"What else do I need for a Paella?" I ask her. She just shakes her head and walks up the stairs.

Phew.

Once I hear her entering the practice somewhere above me, I knock against the door again.

"Can I come in now?"

That is when I hear a key turning and the door swings open.
