Was something like 3am
when Julie, asleep with her boyfriend Robert, suddenly a loud noise wakes Julie, who after
a few seconds tried waking Robert, saying
get up Robert, wake up, I think someone
Is downstairs, someone's In our house
Julie failing to wake Robert, whispered
that's It Chicken S**t, you just lay there,
let me go downstairs and see who It Is,
You just stay there and let your girlfriend
get murdered by someone In our own home.
Going to the bedroom closet Julie grabbed
Robert's baseball bat that he had kept since
his college playing days, being as quite as she
possibly could, tip--toed across the landing
Julie headed down stairs, being careful not to
step on that loose last stair.
All the time hearing the noise
from the kitchen getting louder, with things
smashing to the floor, clasping a firm hold
of the bat above her head, ready to hit out at
whoever or whatever came through
that kitchen door.
In a quick second the kitchen door
swung open, then just as quick Julie
swung the bat wildly, kept on doing so until
there was a crash to the floor, followed by
groaning that made Julie swing the bat
again and again, silencing the groans.
On turning on the sitting room lights
Julie fell to the floor when seeing the extent
of what had just happened, Robert, Robert,
dear Jesus Robert, It was only when Julie
turned the lights on? did she only see that
the body on the floor next to her
was that of Robert, with a kitchen Knife
Stuck In his chest, he had heard someone
moving around downstairs
and went to check It out.
What Julie had thought was someone
had broke In, was In fact Robert trying to get
to his feet to warn Julie, but kept falling over
In the kitchen.
Julie then froze when she heard a voice say,
" you ready to come to bed now baby.
