Fright Night

Tweet

Last night, a bright full moon was glowing in the sky. My husband was already in bed, I went out to admire the sky. I only stayed out a few minutes, the night was not very cold, but not even warm. I went back inside, closed the french window leading to the patio, went to bed too and turned off the light. Almost immediately, I heard noises coming from downstairs. I waked up my husband and we carefully went down in the dark, trying to be as silent as we could. At mid stairs, we noticed that the curtains were moving. My husband told me to go back upstairs and be ready to call the police. At that very moment we both heard a faint "meow". A cat in the house? I turned on the light and Willy, the cat of our neighbor was there, near the window, looking at us. He surely came inside while I was looking at the moon. I lifted Willy, cuddled him for a moment and send him back to "his" house. It was only a false alarm, but for a moment I was scared.
