Slowly I stir as I hear something at the window. "Must be a stray cat" I think to myself as I fall back into the comforting arms of slumber.

Suddenly I hear a thud on the floor in front of the window. I open my eyes and see a figure move in the dim light.

I fully awaken and bolt up in bed, too scared to scream. I try to get out of the bed but I had wrapped myself in my sheet and I fall to the floor. My black silky night gown around my waist, my legs tangled in the sheet.

I look up at the figure in my room.
