Explanation:
A simile is a method for comparison of a thing with something different. It creates a realistic feeling to the situation, imagined or visualized distinctively.
Let us read the sentence from the story, as mentioned by the author.
"I pulled the heavy double doors open; the hinges squeaked like a platoon of lost ghosts."
The squeaky sound of the hinges because the door had not been used for a long time. The narrator is unfamiliar with what lies behind the door.
