In Kafka’s Hotel

Outside, footsteps in the corridor grow nearer then pass, only to stop and knock on a door further down followed by voices, sobs and muffled sounds wheeled off into a silence until sometime hence when footsteps again will tread the floor and there will be a knock on a door.

Had to do some research to grasp the significance of the title of this one Paul, however very clearly expresses how we all sometimes become aware one day our number will be up. Perfectly poetic and skilled in it's conciseness.
