The Voice

I was sound asleep
The man was insistent
Called my name three times
I thought it was my cell mate
I was disturbed
He was fast asleep
Creeped me out
I did not know what to do
Still don't

Ha! Ha!. When in doubt don't do anything, though screaming as loud as you can may have frightened him away...

I have heard this voice in my own bedroom; I always think it is my husband but it is not. I know this after I wake him.
