Waiting In The Dark

My mum and I were crouched in the living room. It was dark; not pitch black, but greenish dark, almost like a sea green dark. The curtains were closed, and it was eerily quiet.

Mum was insisting that I keep quiet. We were waiting for dad to return home so that we could go out for a walk. 

I wonder now was it because we were meant to act as though we weren't at home because my mum didn't want the neighbours to come over?
