Kiss

This one particular night, soon after I had moved into a shared house, I eventually fell asleep while still unpacking and watching a movie at the same time in my bedroom. In the middle of a deep sleep in my new room, I suddenly felt what seemed like lips on my forehead — I even remember the soft “mwah” sound — and I startled awake with a yelp. I had no idea what had kissed me or what it was all about. Still rattled, I rose shakily and crossed into the lounge area, where the house owner sat calmly nibbling a cheese cracker; she glanced up and, without much interest, simply asked, "What?" Thank God she hadn't heard me — otherwise she would have assumed I was completely nuts.
