I got home late, after midnight. Though I was only partially undressed, I laid down.
"Just for a moment", I thought.
The lights were still on in my room.
I was right between sleep and awake, in that spooky sorta twilight zone, when I heard my Mom's door open. I faked being asleep so I wouldn't have to explain anything.
"Out late again" she said as she turned out my light.
I heard Dad in the background.
"....lights on....rock band...all hours..."
Just then the baby started to cry really loud. I forgot my Sis was visiting. Mom closed my door so as not to wake me with the ruckus.
I laughed to myself.
"Whew, close call".
A few minutes later I heard my cell phone message alert.
"Damn"!
I rolled over to check it.
"Huh"?
Dad died in 1977. Mom died two years ago. My Sis is now a great grandmother whose kids have grandchildren of their own.
I got up to turn off the light.
"Freekin' dreams"........
