I discovered a criminal in my room and outwitted him.

Hello, I’m Clara and something absolutely terrifying happened to me! I’m one of those unlucky ones who wakes up at the drop of a pin. I always thought being a light sleeper was the worst thing in the world until one night when I was 13 years old. My parents had to go to an emergency conference in London, so they left me home alone for a week. They didn’t seem to mind because my Grandma lives a few blocks away, so they knew I’d be fine. The night before they were due back, I went out with my friends for milkshakes at our local diner. My friend’s mom dropped me home and I headed straight to bed. I was so tired, I fell straight into a deep sleep. I woke up feeling thirsty and reached out for my water. That’s when I heard it…It sounded like someone was in my parent’s room. I suddenly panicked and wondered if I’d slept through to the next night and my parents had already come back! Was I THAT tired?! I checked my phone and saw it was still the same night and it was 3am. My heart started thumping in my chest. I tried to be rational. Maybe Felix, the neighbour’s cat, had slipped through an open window? Putting on my bravest face possible, I crept towards my door and locked it…just in case. I then slid down onto my knees, pulling the key out so that I could peek through the lock.
