Who is in there?

I woke up, felt the cold
beside me. Was she dead?
I touched her face. Rigor mortis.
No expression, nor words.
I panicked, fled the room,

kept the door ajar. As if a stranger
had entered the bedroom.

‘Wake up. If you don't, I'll
phone the police.'
Nothing.

My body shook.
I cried, holding the door handle,
feeling the freezing cold
coming from the bedroom.
