At the end
of the day, as the household settled down, a quiet seeped in. It followed the lady of the house as she
walked down the hall to her bedchamber.
She did not notice as she climbed into bed and nestled into her covers.
From the
living room she could hear the television, a faint hum, distant and muted. Her thoughts slowed and her limbs grew heavy
preparing for sleep to take over.
A sharp
bark brought her awake, eyes wide and staring at the intruder fluttering overhead. It swooped around the ceiling, a small, dark
bat seeking escape.
