What Was That

a howl woke me startled, I listened…. nothing What was that? Werewolf? Pack of wild dogs? Lone wolf? Fright filled the room I felt threatened Sleep was illusive I had no idea The howl came from me

(chuckling) I sometimes throw myself out of the bed. I awaken and ask myself, "What did you do that for?" Generally, I yell when I do it. Deb used to grab me by the arm or a leg and hold onto me to keep me from landing on the floor. Strange! So, I believe the howl!
