Click.
The white noise machine’s steady stream is silenced
Little footsteps pad onto the floorboards
Our bedroom door groans as it opens inwards
Bedsheets ruffle as a creature climbs up and crawls onto the bed
Plops himself down right between our heads
And then it’s quiet in the darkness once again
Just gentle breathing, out and in.
