Wide Awake
U/kwicquestion: “Last night, when I was lying down in my recliner near the window, I heard a man whisper, ‘Yo, he’s still up,’ from outside. Despite my strength, I experienced real terror when I was exposed to danger. After a little period of lack of action, I stood up and peered out the window, but nothing caught my eye.
They might have reached the forest before I arrived at the window because my house is situated in a heavily wooded area. The shades were drawn, but not closed. Just gave me the creeps. I need a friend to watch my back and alert me when he hears them the next time they come, so I’m going to adopt a dog from the animal shelter today. But I just wanted to express that it’s not often that I feel fear rise through every hair on my body.”
