Amir lay his left elbow against the rough tips of his feather-filled pillow and looked up at the creaking ceiling fan.

Outside, the thin drizzle had begun its nightly ritual of slapping the panes of his window. A thunder shower was emminent and he knew that it would soon drown out the clumsy noise of the bedroom door which would keep banging.

"Thud", "thud", against the cemented white wall, knocked the rough wood of the panels - over and over again.

The night had just begun and the snores of his neighbour confirmed that Amir was alone with his thoughts.

There were no eager human ears to listen to him, no flapping ears or earnest faces.

A sense of loneliness invaded the room and Amir could only lay still.

  1. Suddenly his ears pricked at the sound of footsteps in the hallway! Who could it be? Surely there was no one out there?

    The sound of boots knocking against the wooden floor got louder. And louder.

    Amir clutched his pillow so tightly that his fingers hurt.
