Did you hear that?
I often lay in bed and listen to the wind. I can hear people talking, music from cars, dogs barking and sirens whaling in the distance. Every once and a while I hear these bizarre things. Last week I heard a baby crying. It was 3am and I woke up thinking one of my children were up. After I checked on all of them I realized...it wasn't my baby. I looked outside and there were no cars, strollers, walkers, runners or humans of any kind, yet i still heard crying. I thought about going downstairs. I thought about going and checking in the bushes for an infant left in basket. When I think about it now, I may have been dreaming. Whatever it was...it stopped and I drifted of to sleep. But I wonder?
A few years back I was lying in bed. My husband was on a business trip. It was quiet and I was sound asleep. I felt something above me then a loud whisper "DAWN". I jumped up. I could still feel hot breath in my ear but nothing...no one was there.
My heart was in my throat.
Last summer I was alone in bed. It was warm but I was reluctant to turn on the fan. For some reason it interfered with the baby monitor. I layed in bed, dozing just for a second when I felt wind past my face, then a high pitched scream. A moth? A Bat? A Bee? I jumped up and turned on the light. I looked around and nothing. I shook the curtains, moved the blankets and NOTHING. Was I dreaming? Losing my mind perhaps?
So I ask..."Did you hear that?"
