You wake up again for the fifth time tonight.
You can't sleep.
Why?
Because a murderer could be on the loose!
Duh!!
You quietly go into your parents room and start to poke your dad on the cheek. He stirs but doesn’t wake up.
"Dad...dad...wake up" you whisper.
Your dad opens one eye and yells obscenities as you stare at him.
"Don't do that! What's wrong?" he says quietly.
"I don't wanna die dad. I'm scared" you whisper.
"We didn't believe you but don’t worry he is in jail. I can't believe they let a psycho like that in this neighborhood." Your dad says and continues talking but you stopped listening.
He's in jail? Forever?
YES!!!!
You say okay and I love you then walk back to your room and finally sleep soundly.
Thank goodness.
