Behind Enemy Lines I crept in, unnoticed. Fear spread through me like a ripple in a pond, gently reaching every part of my body. Each hair slowly wakes and stands to attention on my neck and arms. My eyes search the shadows for signs of movement but nothing stirs and the only sound is my heart beating loudly in my ears. A movement - subtle, small - but there. My breathing stops as a wave of terror sweeps over me, if I'm caught the consequences will be dire. I back away slowly, cautiously, careful to ensure my feet make no sound. I move from the darkness and into the light, from danger to safety. Still unable to breath, I smile at the bravery I've shown, the courage I've had to muster to enter this forbidden lair. Edging ever closer to sanctuary, my hand opens the door, illuminating the half-light. Shady fingers sweep across the wall and attempt to engulf me...but I make the light and the skeletal shadows recede. Exhaling after what seems like days, my heart beat gradually reduces its rhythm as I bask in the warm glow of the light. I read, once more, the warning on the door and smile. I turn and walk away, safe in the knowledge that my daughter remains oblivious to the intrusion, the words on the door still ringing in my head...'No adults allowed!'.
