I yawned and rolled over to check my alarm clock. 3 AM.
Damn. I was hoping to get a bit more sleep tonight. I reached over and grabbed my phone to check my messages.
That's strange, there's no reception. Must be the cheap router acting up again. Guess I'll try it later.
I roll back over onto my stomach and begin to drift back to sleep when the sound of a window being shattered rings throughout the house.
My heart pace quickens and I quietly get up and run over to lock the bedroom door. I stand as still as I can and try to listen for any other sounds. I hear the crunching of glass as if someone were walking through it without a care as to how much noise they're making.
I stand there frozen in fear. I'm wearing nothing but a pair of pink panties and a tank-top. The rest of my clothes are in the washing machine downstairs. I have nothing but a few small bottles of nail polish and an alarm clock to use as a weapon. I consider trying to move my bed in front of the door but decide to wait and see if the stranger tries to come upstairs to my room.
Suddenly, I hear the stomping of feet on the stairs. I panic and attempt to push my bed.
Too heavy. I need to think of something else. Quick.
I search my room frantically for something to block the door. I look to the big dresser standing across from the door.
With a burst of adrenaline, I tip the dresser over far enough that it'll delay the intruder. I've bought myself a minute or two but now they know I'm here. The door is made out of cheap plywood and won't hold up if they decide to break it down.
I rush over to my window and take a few deep breaths. I need to calm down and focus.
I slide the window open and punch the screen out. I slide one leg through the window sill just as the door cracks in half and I see the dead eyes of a teenage-looking girl. Her shirt is torn up and she's covered in dirt and grime.
She rushes at me as I struggle to get the other half of my body through the small opening.
I'm almost through and think I'm going to escape when I suddenly feel the girls hands grab my leg and struggle to pull me back in with surprising strength. I kick and thrash but she manages to grab a hold of the seam of my underwear and gives them a strong tug.
Luckily for me, they're a cheap brand and tear easily from the force which causes me to fall back out of the window and land safely on bush. Unluckily for me though, Now I'm naked from the waist down.
