A Bump in the Night

Mrs Schwartz woke me up at 4:30 this morning and told me that she heard a noise in the kitchen. She said it sounded like somebody bumping into a chair.

So I got the nightstand gun and went down to check it out. After checking the downstairs and the garage, we concluded that she probably heard the icemaker.

It reminded me of the first time I went looking for noises. It was about ten years ago. We had just bought the house. She said she thought she heard voices in the back yard. I went out there. While I was looking around in the dark, I thought, What the hell am I doing out here without a gun?
It was shortly after that, that I bought my first pistol.
