  I don't know why I looked up, but when I did I saw him there. He stood against my window. His 

forehead rested against the glass, and his eyes were still and light and he smiled a lipstick-red, 

cartoonish grin. And he just stood there in the window. My wife was upstairs sleeping, my son 

was in his crib and I couldn't move I froze and watched him looking past me through the 

glass.Oh, please no. His smile never moved but he put a hand up and slid it down the glass, 

watching me. With matted hair and yellow skin and face through the window.I couldn't do 

anything. I just stayed there, frozen, feet still in the bushes I was pruning, looking into my home. 

He stood against my window.
