Intruders make the best playmates

It was a dark night ,black clouds covered the moon . You head up to bed after a long day at work.

You live alone in a large house ,it is a good neighbourhood but there have been a few break ins as of late.

Once you are ready for bed you crash down hard onto the sheets and fall into a restless and disturbed slumber.

A faint sound of footsteps wakes you , was it footsteps down stairs you can not be certain .

You lay there still and quiet thoughts of the news reports about the break ins filling your head.

You know that going down and looking could be a fatal mistake . But laying here in your underwear whilst you wait for the intruder to come in would also not be a great idea.

More noises ,no mistakes this time it was definitely someone downstairs.
