That Scary Night I Forgot to Lock Our Parlour Door

I saw a forum thread about home security, and it reminded me of a strange night two months ago. My wife and I were asleep when we heard a noise in the parlour. I got up to lock both the protector and the main door—and realized we’d left them wide open. Just as I reached for the lock, I heard our bedroom door click shut. Convinced someone had sneaked in, I panicked. I dashed back, locked our bedroom door, and stayed inside until dawn. My wife was furious that night, though she never mentioned it again. Even now, I still wonder: was it an intruder or just the breeze?
