I got to sleep about at the normal time for a Sunday night, maybe a bit later because I had been reading.
I hear a knock at the door and go downstairs to answer it. It's a fairly large man with a goatee. He says hi and explains that he's here to follow up on the visit he made last week when he was pitching a political candidate to me. I remember him coming around then, and remember that he was looking around in the house through the door at that time. I suddenly realize that it is very late, the election was earlier this week, and this man has no business being here. A very evil grin comes over the guy's face and he takes a step towards me. I try to scream but am unable to, then immediately bolt awake.
I couldn't have been out for longer than fifteen minutes... My radio was still on and it still wasn't in overnight programming yet. I decided to read a while longer before I went back to sleep...
