It was the middle of the night and I was sound asleep, when suddenly I felt the door bang against my bed and the automatic hall light flickered on. Very confused, I sleepily inched my way to the edge of my bed and peered out the door to see what was going on. I saw Aleta’s blankets scattered on the floor and her bed was empty. Very confused, I sat there for a minute trying to comprehend what happened, when Aleta slowly walked back into the room.
“What’s wrong?” I asked.
“I saw a huge spider!” She responded.
“Where?”
“On the ceiling.”
I turned on the light and looked up, there was no spider to be found. “Did it fall on the floor?” I asked.
“I have no idea.” She said. She then proceeded to gather up her blankets and go back to sleep. Turns out she had a night terror and thought she saw a giant spider on the ceiling. In her frightened adrenaline rush, she somehow managed to leap from her bed and land six feet into the hallway. She didn’t even know she could jump that far.
Fortunately there was no spider and Aleta discovered her new talent for high jumping.
I couldn’t stop laughing until I finally fell back to sleep.
