More than a bump in the night.....

It was 1:42AM this past Saturday morning...

Marianne sat bolt upright in bed and grabbed my left arm like it was a box from Tiffanys....

"I just heard a man's voice down the hallway!!!" she whispered/yelled....

Well.....I couldn't really tell her that she was hearin' things....

Because....I. Had. Heard. It. Too.

It had awakened me at the same instant that it had her. I was just too scared to say anything.

Neither of us know what he said....It was maybe 3 seconds of loud speech.

I started to rationalize. The dogs hadn't gone crazy. Certainly someone didn't break into our house during the

middle of the day, only to wait until the middle of the night to jabber jibberish...

No, I didn't grab a gun and go in search of whatever/whoever it was.

I stayed frozen in bed.....listening to every sound. Including that of my pounding heart.

I knew that Marianne was terrified.

Well, I thought she was...When the next sound I heard was.....

"Zzzzzzzzz....."  She had fallen back asleep.

So I figured if her female intuition told her that all was well, who was I to question it?

That's my story and I'm stickin' to it...

  1. I cannot believe you guys went back to sleep. I'd still be walking with a ball bat and looking over my shoulder!
