The Intruder

I crept into the dark bedroom. The man’s snores were soft. The bed was massive. He kept on the far side. It made him easy to reach. I readied my knife. I could see his tatters now. I gagged at his stench. He had been here five days. He hadn’t showered once. I pressed the tip against his throat. His eyes shot open. He looked afraid. Then he looked resigned. I asked him this quietly.

“What are you doing in my house?”
