Night of Terror

On a lonely dark night, I was awakened from my sleep. My house was really quiet and you couldn't hear a peep. I heard a mysterious noise coming from the attic. My husband was on a business trip, I was about to panic. I quietly got out of the bed, grabbed a flashlight and a bat, I tiptoed nervously up the stairs; slowly opened the door and saw a rat. I thought he was the culprit, but I turned around and saw a hideous creature. Fear overtook my whole being, darkness concealed his every feature. Then all of a sudden, he moved swiftly, and I felt a piercing in my chest, Was it curtains for me, and was I about to die from an unwanted guest? In the far distance, I heard, "honey wake up." rise and shine, buttercup!
