The room is dark.
The uniformed gentleman steps in after a night shift. He closes the door behind him quietly as to not wake up his family. The whole house echoes with any kind of noise so he tries to be extra thoughtful about his movements. He blames the terrible design of this home that creates a vacuum throughout the house that causes all openings and doors to wricket, jiggle and shutter with any movement of any one.
He thinks to himself βquiet, quiet, quiet, shit shit shit shhhhhhhhhhβ.
He slowly takes off his rustling uniform and sneaks into bed next to his sleeping beauty of a wife. Ahhh peace. Its early still, maybe he can get in a couple hours before the kids wake up in the other room. Silence.

Wahβ¦β¦.
