Tara, at Thin Spiral Notebook, gave us the word quiet for our 100 Word Challenge this week. Tell me what you think of my offering and swing by to see other great responses via the link above or the badge below.
Ears perk up
Something is wrong
Heartbeat quickens
As mind begins to whirl
Moving with swiftness
Elsewhere unparalleled
Scanning each room
Searching for the
Discrepancy
Nightmares ensue
Visions unfold
Blood and death
Silent invaders
Creeping up
On the unwary
Catching them
Haunting them
Forever reminding them
Of an unguarded moment
Each room stands
Silent
Riddled with danger
Laden with traps
Filled with places
For small bodies
To hide
Helpless and alone
Away from prying eyes
Just then
A small giggle
Fills the emptiness
Soothing fears
Conjuring concerns
Of messes and mayhem
What were you doing
When I was not looking?
Part author, part artist, all dreamer 
I remember the days when my children were little and they would go all quiet. I knew they were up to no good.

The scariest part for me at the moment is that mine is just big enough and independent enough to take off outside on me. We are working on learning you can’t go outside until Mommy or Daddy says so.

The first time one of my kids drove somewhere on their own, I was a hot mess. I’d love to tell you it gets easier, but I’d be lying.
