Under the Lights

Tap, tap, tap.
Then a pause Tap, tap, tap.
Pause.
The pattern was driving me crazy, and I wanted to yell at it to stop.
Then I woke up.
Tap, tap, tap.

Either there was an animal out there annoying me, or someone was being polite before they... broke into the house and murdered us all. Whichever it may be, I was checking it out.
Gunner wasn’t who I expected. I had really been leaning toward a bird on the window. I unlocked the top and quietly slid it up.
“Hey,” I whispered, wondering if I might still be asleep. If so, at least the tapping had stopped.
“Tree house,” he whispered back, nodding his head in the direction of the tree house.
“Now?” I asked, confused. It had to be at least two in the morning.
“Please” was his simple response, but it was enough.MoreLess
