Yay for posting right? I hope you are enjoying my diligence in posting on here! And I have another little piece of writing for you. I hope you enjoy it:
A loud crash sounded, startling me awake. I sat up blearily, my heart pounding.
'what on earth?' I thought tiredly. I stumbled from the bed and inched towards the door. Another loud crash had me instantly alert. Someone was in my apartment. I tensed and strained to hear a voice or any other movement. Quiet footsteps were in my kitchen.
