The Stranger
Ducking low,
practically crawling
I stumble over the rug.
Praying my dad would come home
and save me from the secrets
of
the
future...
Though I dare think of it!
Another knock
and a twist at the door.
Is there going to be a way out of this?
Still hiding behind my couch, I peer at the front door.
I get a glance at his face
looking a different direction.
Thankfully.
I don’t think he’s seen me yet but
is that a good thing
or
a bad thing.
Maybe if I show myself he’ll know to not break in.
But no!
What if he pulled out a gun
and shot me
for knowing his arrival.
If I could just get one second
to run
or hide
or grab a knife
or something!
The pressure thickens and my breathing gets deeper.
Is this the end?
