Under the Table


As she sits under the dining room table in the dark, she hears him coming. He thinks he's quiet.
Her parents sleep on peacefully. Or do they?
She wonders if he'll find her this time? How long can she sit under here?
The chair legs seem so sturdy~ make her feel safe.
The table puts her in shadow. For now she is invisible. Invisible is good. Invisible is safe.
She is glad she got to the table before he found her.
