My Sentinel

After writing my first entry on this website and reading the comments. I started to look back and see if any other events would make a good narrative I chose this one for now. I should state now that I have always been protected from the worst of everything. My family and I have been in several car accidents, though I have never been injured in any of them. It is my belief that this is the reason why.

This story takes place before the events of 2004. I was living in a trailer at the time; if you could call it that more like trash cans latched together with Bondo and plywood. My room was in the middle of the house on the front side. There was a window just opposite my door literally like two and a half feet from it. A gap existed between the door and the floor; it let light into my room. Outside the window was a street light. Then open field for about fifty feet until the neighbors trailer. No trees or bushes were between the light and my window. The window was at least nine feet from the ground. I say this for a dual purpose; so you can image the surroundings, and know that it could not be someone or something outside my window.

Almost every night while lying on my couch (I slept on it instead of a bed) waiting to go to sleep, I would see under the door a shadow of two legs walk across my door, walking back and forth all night some time. As I have stated before sometimes I just don't sleep. I could feel him walking the hall. I never looked out the door to see if I could catch a glimpse of my sentinel. I never thought about doing it; As if I knew he was there, and didn't need to see him. I always knew he was there, and maybe he told me I didn't need to see him just to let him guard me for as long as I live. There is another time I think he stopped me from doing something stupid I'll leave that for another time.

That's it for now until next time. Thanks for the comment.
