Jenny was sound asleep when she woke up from being thirsty. She tip-toed quietly downstairs in the dark to the kitchen. As she open the refrigerator door, she saw something laying on the floor. Curious, she open the light and froze. She wanted to scream, she really did. However, her voice was stuck as if it was not her own. That 'something' was a woman.
