It's Three Am; The House Alarm Went Off

I can't really get back to sleep after the alarm went off. This is the second time this year this has happened and I'm starting to dread that sound.

Everytime I'm awakened from my slumber to the sounds of the siren wailing, I find myself wishing that it would shut the eff up. But without that noise we would not know if there has been a breach and that a break in is at bay.

The first time we blamed the cat or the rats. This time we have no animals to fault. All doors and possible entry points have been checked and all appears normal. I know alarms can be faulty, but one can't help but worry. It would be easy to dismiss it all as a techical glitch, but is it really?

I wanted to arm myself but all the ammo I had was a pair of blunt scissors.

What's a home when you don't feel safe in it?
