I awoke to a thunderous sound in the middle of the night and sat up as straight as a board. I climbed slowly out of bed surrounded by a curtain of darkness. Usually, my nightlight would provide some sort of visual path for my eyes, but not this time. I stumbled as blind as a bat down the hall to my parent's room. I knocked my knuckles on their door and heard my dad's deep voice answer through the closed door. I told him about the sound I had heard and that my nightlight was not working. Opening the door, he said the electricity probably went out and that it would probably be back on in the morning. Because I was a scared rabbit, he let me climb into bed with him and Mom until morning. Tucked tightly under the covers between Mom and Dad, I felt as safe as a turtle hiding in its shell. Because I was a scared rabbit, he let me climb into bed with him and Mom.
