An uneasy night.

Kitty woke up with a start. Outside the garden dark under clouds was silent and empty of life. She has heard loud raised voices, thick gutteral. Screams. A gun shot. Someone crying.

Suddenly the noise disappeared. As if a tape had been played. Or someone had pulled the plug.

Unnerved; despite the hour, which she hadn't noted, she got up and took a glass of water over to a chair. Was it real?

Was the heliocopter here again? or was the noise coming from elsewhere?............................................................

I opened the door to Kitty about twenty minutes to go before college.
"At the shop today?" she asked. I shook my head and passed out coffee.
"College," I told her, "Arn't you in too today?"
She sipped her coffee and told her about the odd dream. "I thought heard someone say it was a knee-capping." she said miserably. "Again, I'm not certain as to the reality."
"Good grief, I wouldn't have been either.

Someone trying to scare you again?"
"Yes maybe." Some colour had come into her face. She no longer looked as washed out as she did when she first came in. "I mean that doesn't happen here."
