Wrapped in a Blanket

My family stayed in a hotel in Simla. My sister and I were in a separate room. When we were about to go to sleep someone knocked our door.

My sister got up to open the door reluctantly. Within seconds she gave a terrified scream. I came to the door and screamed even louder.

Outside, stood a tall figure wrapped in a blanket. We were scared to death.

When the person removed the blanket, we were surprised to find our mother. Since she was feeling uneasy in her room she had come to sleep along with us.
