You're in your basement, going through some of your old souvenirs and knick-knacks, reminiscing over old times when all of the sudden you hear a strange noise coming from upstairs.
You don't think much of it at first, until you remember that you're alone, your husband called earlier today to tell you that he'd be working late into the night.
You quickly put up your box of knick-knacks and head for door landing upstairs,your heartbeats faster with every step you claim as your mind starts running away with horrific thoughts.
You reach the landing at the top of the stairs and freeze, even your mind which was just in overdrive has even come to a complete halt and is blank of thought.
Your breath has soften but your heart keeps racing, the few seconds it took for you to gather up enough courage to start moving towards the door felt like an eternity. Slowly you reach for the door when you hear the noise again, You freeze in place with your fingers only inches away from the doorknob, your heart stops along with your breathing.
You wait another few seconds then slowly crack open the door, as you do the unmistakable smell of death hits you full on, you pick your head into the living room and slowly reach for the light switch as you do so, their is a warm pulsing of air on your hand, it almost felt like breathing. You quickly turn on the lights only to find yourself face to face with your dog who is standing on the arm of the couch,a sigh in relief escapes your lips as you realize it was only your dog and the smell is coming from the old routine rawhide it was holding in its mouth. You look cock-eyed at the dog wondering where he got it.
The you hear the nose again, it's coming from the kitchen, you slowly walk down the hall, soon you reach the kitchen and turn on the lights as your whole family jumps out yelling “Surprise!!”. Your heart almost stops for good this time as you remember it's your first anniversary.
As your husband wraps his arms around you and gives you a gentle squeeze, you realize that you probably watch too many horror movies and should probably cut back on them.
