A Surprising Visitor.

I was sleeping in my room. A sudden sound woke me up from my deep sleep. My parents were sleeping in the next room. I was trying to go back to sleep when I heard the sound again. The sound was of someone sipping something. This time, I was sure that what I heard was not my imagination. I came out of my room. When I reached the hall, I saw one of its windows open. I caught my breath. I specifically remember locking all the windows and doors before I went to sleep. Slowly, I walked up to the window and locked it again, this time, after double checking it. When I turned towards my room, I heard the sound again, this time, nearer.

I ran towards the switchboard and put on the lights. The sight before me confused and scared me to no end. The hall was a complete mess. Nothing was in its proper place. As I was examining the hall, I heard the sound again. This time, it came from the cupboard. Holding my breath, I made my way towards the cupboard and when I opened it, I saw just a pair of darkest shade of green eyes staring at me. I screamed at the top of my lungs. My parents came running, out of their room, to the hall. I closed the cupboard and leaning to it with my back, I wheezed for a few moments. Looking at my parents' confused faces, I decided to show them what I just saw and so opened the cupboard once more. Only this time, did I actually saw what it was. It was a pitch black colored CAT.

The expression of my parents' faces was indescribable. It took a minute or two to absorb the situation, and then we burst out into laughter. If not from my screaming, I am sure the hysterical laughter of ours had woken up the whole neighborhood.
