Trespassers

My sister and I will never forget the panic and creepy chills that stroke us like lightning bolts above water. No sleep for hours - no, for days. Our eyes were light pink, our lids heavy and right on the verge of snapping shut completely. Our exhausted, stiff bodies were desperate for just a few minutes of rest, but it was our panic-stricken adrenaline that kept us awake day and night. We could sleep during the day; that's when everything was safe. But we didn't for fear that we'd get nightmares of the stranger who bothered us outside the window. Plus, we were in a phase that left us completely stunned to where sleep was not an option.
Yet I dare share my story.
