Something I Read Today

I woke up with a jolt, startled by the sound of my mom calling my name from the kitchen.

I was annoyed but it sounded so loud and urgent I stumbled out of bed and slowly made my way.

On my way over, a pair of hands grabbed me from inside a closet, and pretty soon my mouth was cupped.

It was my mom, holding me tightly and whispering;

"Shh, be quiet. I heard it too."

Have a good night everyone.
