The noise continued to rumble steadily in the background.
I rose from sleep. It was coming from my left.
I looked, but there was nothing there.
The snoring continued. But the bed on my left was empty.
I thought I was imagining things because I was still drowsy from sleep.
I started to roam from room to room, thinking that the noise might be coming from a different direction.
No snores from daddy and mummy's room. And all is peaceful and quiet at ah ma's room.
I tried to go back to sleep. But the sounds of some one's snores beside me sent shivers down my sleepy spine, because I can hear but I see no one.
I tried to trace for the source.
Out the window to my left...
This guy who parked his car downstairs was sleeping inside and snoring so loudly that I actually thought the sound was coming from somewhere beside me.
I swear I saw the car vibrating as he inhale and exhale.
And for a moment, I really thought there was some one beside me.
