The Intruder

I was asleep and something woke me up. There was someone there. I don't know who but for some reason I could tell that they were up to no good. Call it instinct or protection from the man up above, I don't care.

At first I tried to see who it was. That should have worked and helped me to alleviate myself with the problem. The only problem was every time I try to open my eyes a bright light seem to be blinding me. I couldn't see and before you ask no I'm not blind. But not all my senses were gone, so I could still hear the person rummaging around in the room I was in. I figured I had fallen asleep on the top bunk of my bed am I light was on so it's logical that I wouldn't be able to see because, well, I have a history of leaving my light on when I fall asleep. I didn't know who is in the room so I figured if I rolled over too much it would probably let him know that I was there and because I don't know who it is, I mean it could be an Ax Murderer for all I knew, I tried to maneuver my body so that I was quiet but could find a way to see who it was. I had finally positioned myself to where I should have been able to see but once again the blinding white light would not let me.

Suddenly I was able to hear my door closed. I figured you would be a great time to try and give a sneak attack to whoever was in my house. And before you guys make any assumptions, no I was not able to see but, because I lived in that place so long I was able to memorize the floor plans. So I positioned myself so that when I jump down the top bunk that I would be able to land without hurting myself. But when I made the jump I was surprised to find that it wasn't on the top bunk. No, no, no. I was on the bottom bunk so instead of making the courageous land I thought it would I ended up tucking and rolling into the wall closest to me.

I got it slightly irritated but yet amused am I own antics. I brush myself off and recalculated where it was or at least as close to where I thought it was. I was at the wall so I was probably at the far left side. I started moving around the room away from the bed staying close to a wall and because I wasn't sure if the person had really left the room every few steps I would cover my head and turn around as much as possible. I probably look like a person they escaped from the loony bin. I was getting more annoyed with every step. By the time I got to the door my annoyance is already at the roof boarding anger. And suddenly I realized did I could see the door for a Split Second. I became a little bit confused what does revelation. I reached my hand out open the door but I couldn't find the handle. I kept groping at the door in the wall trying to find it but I couldn't that annoy me even more, and lo and behold, my sense of site flashback for a second. I quickly from the door open, realizing that anger powered my vision, I made myself angry as I could. I walk down the Halls like an angry lion stalking around trying to find whoever was in the house. As soon as I reach my living room that's when I saw him. He was kind of tall and skinny like he barely ate anything. Being how dumb I was and how angry I was really feeling I didn't hesitate to shout..

“ Hey what the hell are you doing in my house?!!!”

And the guy turned around,

“ what do you mean your house, I am the inspector?”

And that is when I looked around. I don't mean like I glanced around, no I mean I looked. I was puzzled but I was still Furious that someone has woken me up and was inside what I considered my house. And then it hit me like a ton of bricks. This wasn't my house, this was a new apartments from where I worked. So instead I love calling my boss because, I don't remember my boss telling me that an inspect would be coming. You see my boss and I are very close, there's only eight around two to three people that work for him other than me, ending the landscaper in charge of the rooms he would tell me is something like an inspection was going to happen.

And so I called my boss on my phone asking him what happened but with every time I spoke the guy that claimed to have been the inspector took a step closer to the door until finally he left. It was not until I started moving to the door to everything started fading to Black. I don't quite know what happened in the end other than he finally sitting up and seeing everything was not white but black because I forgot to turn on the light.
