Late At Night

It was late at night and the house was creaking every sound seemed twice as loud as normal My nerves were all a jangle and it felt very cold not at all like usual I tensed at each new creak. I crept around listening as I went through rooms that seemed much darker and very gloomy, I could not at first find anything out of place But the sense of deep unease washed over me. I put and left every light on as I searched yet still felt uneasy, something was very very wrong even with the house lit up like a Christmas tree what on earth was causing this deep sense of unease I could hear a weird rustling noise in the pantry trembling I opened the door and saw nothing at first then with a rush and scream out shot my kitten hair all on end, I had accidently shut him in With a sigh off relieve I picked him up and calmed him It took a while until he relaxed and started to purr the house now felt safe and back to usual I laughed thinking what a fool I had been and relaxed with him
