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
