Jislaaik!

I was sitting here at my desk sorting some MP3 files on my laptop when the sound of someone flipping a light switch and the closing of my parents’ bathroom door startled me. I thought I was home alone…

I quietly made my way to the kitchen and got one of the large knives, I lightly ran my thumb along the blade to make sure it was sharp. I slowly walk towards my parents’ bedroom with the knife in my trembling right hand, I could hear water running in my parents’ shower as I got closer. I get to the closed bathroom door and tap on it with the knife. I got no response from whoever was in there so I knocked with my left hand while holding the knife tightly with my right hand.

“What?!” shouted my youngest sister from inside the shower.

I opened the door, stuck in my head and shouted, “Jislaaik, Belle! I almost had a freaking heart attack; I didn’t know you were home, I thought I was home alone!” And with that I closed the door, ran to the kitchen and put the knife away.

I hate not being able to feel safe, even at home.

  1. LOL I would assume an intruder wouldn’t be using the shower. Maybe I’m too trusting.

  6. I was almost sure, one night a few nights ago, that someone was hacking away at our gate’s lock. I made J get up and go look.
