In the Heart of Night's Sleep

Adulthood

On a rainy night, the repeated sound of someone's feet in my floor woke me up. I switched the flashlight on and searched who was there. Finding noone, I got back to sleep. The intruder sang among the files of the study table, touched the paintings, kissed the curtains and finally ran through my dressing table next night. When the light was on, it hid. Played with the thoughts of previous nights, the restless mind crossed some other nights.

Till winter, I was aware of someone's presence in my room, who was nowhere in the daylight. The curiosity was ended one night when the movement stopped and a scream was heard from the glued slide trap. I came out from the night's sleep to look for that. There was a little rat in the darkness of night whose eyes were making a hint,
"Let me wake you up everynight till I live".
