anonymous · Answer

Read the excerpt from a short story.
They had laughed at the shabbiness of the hotel. “Oh well,” they’d said, “we aren’t going to spend any time inside.” And they had not. They’d spent the day and evening sightseeing and had not retreated to their rooms until they were spent. Now Ana appraised her modest accommodations, remembering how the window in her room had amused her friends, as it offered a view of a brick wall not six inches away. “You get what you pay for!” they’d exclaimed, closing the heavy curtains.

The window captured Ana’s attention again. As she readied for bed, she heard a persistent tapping coming from outside. Ana reasoned with herself, reminded herself that only small bird or bug in distress could fit in such a space. The tapping suggested otherwise, and she turned to investigate.

I'm not sure, but I'm leaning towards C.  What do you think?

anonymous · Answer

I was contemplating C too but I am not sure

anonymous · Answer

Yeah. I'm leaning towards C because it's about her death. She is coming close to death. She hears some strange tapping. So most probably C. And you too think it's C. Give it a try.
