Do you hear it too?

The soft, dangling noise of the keys out in the patio? 

But my dad is asleep. 

Who else could be out there this late at night?

I see no shadows.

 

Did you see that? 

There was just something peeking through my room's door.

But every one in the house is asleep.

Why is my living room tinted pink?

 

All my windows are shut, i am sweating like its mid-summer.

Why is the door moving like an accordian?

Even if there was a gust of passing wind,

Why doesn't the door bang shut like it always does?

Why does it have a slight jerk to it?

 

Did something just crawl down my shirt?

Nevermind probably just a shadow. 

But i haven't had any shadows form on me all night...

 

Was my mother just sitting up on my bed?

My peripheral vision must be playing tricks on me,

Because when i jerked around, 

She was tucked in and sleeping soundlessly.
