Watched

Today I was in my bedroom reading when, through the blinds, I saw the shadow of someone walking by the window. For a moment I thought nothing of it, but then I remembered that my bedroom is on the second story. I started, then stared at the blinds, expecting to see an action hero crash through the glass at any second. Much less exciting (and more to my taste), I heard the shuffling and scraping of a ladder, and then the grating sound of someone cleaning the gutters. I kept a suspicious eye onto the window until it sounded like the gutter man had left. I will be much more paranoid about keeping the blinds closed after this.
