What Noise?

I thought I heard something, but...

There's nothing back here. Just a couple ladders and an extension cord. And complete silence.

So weird...it sounded like...no, that's ridiculous. How could I have thought that? Your mind plays tricks on you when you're by yourself. The imagination is like a runaway train. 

And yet...

Nope. I will put it out of my mind. Three hours before Jim is supposed to be back, and I refuse to be the little woman cowering in fear because of some noise I thought I heard. 

I'll just sit patiently, and wait.
