| BURGLAR by Blackbear
On a night, almost a year ago, I woke up because of a noise I heard. Someone was slowly coming down the stairs. I looked at my clock, which told me it was four in the morning. "A burglar!" was what first came to my mind. I quickly got out of bed, ran to the hallway and turned on the lights. All in one move, to catch the burglar by surprise. Then I saw my burglar. It was Small one, one of my black hamsters, which escaped out of his cage. He was sitting upright looking at me with surprise as if saying: "What are you doing up this early in the morning?" After a close inspection, because Small one never could have made that much of a noise, I saw he had knocked over a small bottle, which had rolled slowly down the stairs. Small one died two weeks ago and I remembered the scare he gave me with a smile in this moment of sorrow. ©Blackbear |
