I was sleeping in my room when I decided to get up to quench my thirst with a drink of refreshing water. Still drowsy, I started walking towards the kitchen, guided only by the faint moonlight that filtered through the curtains.

As I approached the kitchen, my eyes fell on the tall man standing before me. Fear gripped me as I realized he was rummaging through the cupboards, as if he were looking for something of value.

My heart skipped a beat when his eyes met mine.
