I started towards the patio door with my heart in my throat; I have to face it or make an fool out of myself by dialing 911 for nothing!

Not wanting to make a fool out of myself, I put the phone in my pocket and headed for the patio door...

I kept thinking about those horror movies when the woman thinks it's just the cat or the wind, and how we all yell, "Don't go there, you dummy!"

I mustered up every ounce of courage I had, and took a deep breath as I opened up the sliding door to the patio.

At first I saw nothing and I relaxed for a moment-the bushes, the wind, the scratching sound -of course, but then the bushes rustled and visibly moved....

I stiffled a scream as the shadowy figure darted past me and into my house...

jeanie g. · Mar 31, 2002

Mother-what are you doing here at this time of night, and, for crying out loud, why were you hiding in the bushes???

I looked at her for an answer and she stared blankly back at me, as if she didn't even know me!

"Honey, I thought you'd never hear me; I couldn't make too much noise or he would have heard me," she finally gasped.

"Who might hear you??", I asked, "Is there someone out there?".

"Isn't he upstairs asleep?," she asked, "I didn't want him to catch us, so I came late."

Didn't want WHO to catch us mother?

"Your dog, silly! Last time I came over, he nearly knocked me off my feet when he ran up to me to say hello!!"

jeanie g. · Apr 8, 2002

I relaxed, finally, and started to laugh at myself for being so frightened, and then...

I heard the distant wailing of sirens and thought to myself, "They couldn't be headed this way, could they?"

falling_rain21 · Apr 14, 2002

I heard the sound of squealing tires and looked out the window to see flashing lights and two paramedics running towards my front door.

jeanie g. · Apr 14, 2002

"Don't worry, ladies; the police are right behind us," the paramedic yelled as he approached my front door!

mslemon · Apr 14, 2002

My mind raced frantically trying to comprehend the situation, when all of a sudden a sheepish grin stole across my face and I realized what I had overlooked to cause all the concern.

falling_rain21 · Apr 15, 2002

I remembered before I found my mother, I had contemplated about calling 911 or not...I had to have dialed and then when I decided against calling, I must have just put it in my pocket without hanging up!
