“Ah…” The old man seemed quite startled as he pressed himself against the wall and glanced back and forth for the nearest exit. “I’m terribly… urm…” I blinked. steam was still wreathed around my lower body and my concept of self consciousness had gone on a brief holiday to somewhere sunny but I still felt keenly the injustice of an interrupted shower. Cold air was beginning to tickle my… neck.
“You just jumped through my window.”
“ah, now, more fell really, um…”
“My Bathroom window…” as though the location of the illegal intrusion made it even more illegal. The potential danger of an unknown intruder in my bathroom while I was so exposed had yet to sink in. I began to consider how the situation may develop and suddenly realised the potential threat. Reaching for the nearest weapon, I brandished it menacingly. The elderly gentleman blinked politely and I slowly became aware that I was brandishing a loufa. we both stared, unbelieving, at it and, as one, burst into uncontrolled laughter.
