I heard a car brake harshly and turn around.

I heard it rev the engine then accelerate back in my direction.

I heard it screech to a skidding halt outside.

I heard the car doors slam shut.

I heard the doorbell ring.

I heard my footsteps race down the stairs.

I heard my keys rattle in the lock.

I heard the door splinter from its hinges.

I heard a loud bang.

I heard nothing again.
