Standing motionless
Afraid to move a step
A shrill shriek leave my lips
Am I hearing things?
I stand totally still again
Willing myself not to scream
Yes, there it is again
That sound
A creaking sound
It fills my ears
Oh shit!
Someone is going to get me!
I run to my bedroom
Jump underneath the covers
Scramble to safety
And then I realise
It was just my dog
Scraping at the door
And I feel totally stupid
For being so scared
Of a great big fluffy Labrador!
