A Midnight Confessional

The picture to our left is by Monislawa on deviantart. I love the photographs that this lady takes. (Just giving credit where credit is due)

Last night I discovered something about myself. My self preservation instincts are a bit lame. Imagine, you are deeply asleep. It is two in the morning. In the middle of a strange dream about headless men in business suits you are awoken to the soft creaking of your front door. You live alone, in one room.
As your head turns toward the formerly locked door, a man's silhouette is looming near your bed.
What would the typical person's response be?
"AAAAHHH!!!" Right? Possibly an accelerated heart rate, a defensive posture?
Mine was, "Who are you?"
I said this very calmly and remained peacefully wrapped in my blankets.
It was Nick.
He used his key (which I made him give me back) and we had an odd talk about his life. I felt like a Catholic priest. Except my hair was a hot mess and I was wearing sweatpants.
He left and insisted on leaving me cash. A donation for Jesus?
I woke up around eleven today and decided it must have been a crazy dream. Nope.
The money was folded up neatly by the bed.
