Late Night Story

 A little, late at night story for everyone.

    My family are very light sleepers and as such they tend to get up in the middle of the night and go downstairs or something like that. I’m usually awake at this time so it’s almost like a game to try and identify who is outside my door by the sound of their footsteps.

    I heard my brother’s footsteps go down the stairs into the kitchen. From the time I’m writing this he hasn’t come back up the stairs yet. I’m pretty sure he forgot to do his homework and is trying not to get caught doing it late at night.

    I heard a different pattern of footsteps come up the stairs. They were both quiet and heavy at the same time. They walked slowly up the stairs and into my mom’s room.

She must be sleepwalking. Haven’t seen her do it before but that would explain the steps.

    She came out of her room I presume, dragging her feet for long periods of time. It was loud and she bumped into things, especially while going down the stairs. I mean she probably didn’t lift her feet even once the whole time. Just the sound of dragging on a carpet.

    She came back up as of right now and is standing outside my door. I think she saw my phone’s light. I’ll see you guys later.
