terrified husband

Crunch of her shoes fascinated the hallway
House had been empty way too long
Husband waited, expecting her to open the door
Masked, dressed in black, intruder entered bedroom

Husband reached for his glasses
They were cowering under the bed
Stranger walked over to the bed and leered at him
He had no way of knowing who or what this was about

Wife entered muted bedroom, giggling like a running toilet
Confused and terrified, husband covered his head to dream
