Garys house
The estate that Gary lived on had a main road with three similar cul-de-sac spur roads coming off it. I turned into the cul-de-sac that Gary lived on and parked behind a red Cavalier. This was Tims car, and meant that he was also round at Garys.

I walked up to the house and knocked on the door. A middle aged woman who I had never seen before answered. This was not unusual as Garys partner Di often had lots of people around the house, most of whom I didnt know.

"Is Gary in?" I enquired.

The woman smiled. "yes dear, come through"

Everything looked normal. The wood floor in the hall. The staircase opposite the front door with the wood panel walls. Turn right and walk into the kitchen.

The kitchen was different though. Well it wasnt a kitchen. There were no appliances for a start. And the walls had been stripped bare. Di must be having a new kitchen fitted, I thought. Nothing unusual about that.

Sat at a small pine table in the kitchen was a man in a business suit with a briefcase open on the table in front of him. He looked like he might be an insurance salesman. Or maybe he was from the company who were fitting the kitchen? Who knows. Who cares? I was here to see my friends, who were at this moment out in the studio.

Gary had converted the garage into a music studio, which was accessed by going through the kitchen, into the garden and into the back door of the garage. So I started to walk through the kitchen towards the back door.

At this point I realised that the man in the suit and the middle aged woman were both staring at me in an odd kind of way. Better say something, I thought.

"erm.....are they out in the studio?"

no answer. both still just staring at me.

Oh cunting fuckflaps. Im in the wrong house! I must have pulled into the wrong cul-de-sac! The man in the suit is also a Gary! ARSE!

The next few seconds were the longest of my life, as I tried frantically to get the hell out of there as quickly as I could. As I walked away from the house I glanced back, and saw suited Gary and the woman both staring at me out the window.

Still makes me shudder.

I really like this :)
I've tried to do this many a time when pissed... fortunately my key doesn't work in other people's doors.
