Bump and Bump Answered
Something just went bump !
Do I get up now and see
Covers over head
Bump again, rattle
Thump thump thump goes the door
Out of bed gun drawn
The door flies open
Broken jamb falls to the floor
Dark shadow there now
Shadow enters room
My gun up trigger fingered
Squeeze slowly or not
Shadow notices
Catches gleam of chrome
Turns and runs quickly
Cell phone gathered now
911 dialed answered
Shadow back at door
Shotgun barrel points
Pistol comes up in my hand
Trigger squeezed, bright flash
Shadow down on floor
Relief and strain roll through me
Police arrive then
Ordeal starts again
Questions and answers, photos
Righteous, castle safe
