Sounds in the bedroom.

It was a couple of nights ago when I had just drifted off to sleep. Ami had her cold butt snuggled up to me, fast asleep. I was startled about 10 minutes later, when I heard this loud rumble. I rolled over really fast and looked at Ami. Come to find out she had let a 21-gun salute slip out. Based on the noise level and effort she put in to it, it must have been a high ranking general she was saluting. About a minute later I heard Madison wake up on the baby monitors screaming from the gunshots. The next mistake I made was throwing the covers back and allowing the chemical warfare to begin. There was this green haze drifting in the air and began to make my eyes water. It was kind of like getting onion in your eyes. As I crawled to find the fan ,blinded by the fumes, I persevered to save my family. This whole time, the suicide bomber still lay asleep. Her only response, "sorry". I went to check on Madison, who had a slight cough and stinch in her clothes, but she was ok. After the air cleared out in our bedroom I crawled back in bed. It took me a while to go back to bed because my eyes were still burning from the sulfur. It was a night I'm glad is over and one I'll never forget. The battlefield is savage, trust me, I've been there.
