Time for bed, I have been advised. Obediently, I do as I am told.
Once in the dark, I light up my room and book with my phone’s torch.
As I continue ferociously reading through the most exciting part of the adventurous tale, peering in the gloom.
Ears alert for sounds of someone coming to see if I was as sound asleep as I should be.
Off with the phone, light and breathing controlled or as a punishment, my book could be whisked out of sight.
Leaving me staring in the dark, impatient to imagine what twist the story would finally reveal.
Before the writer completed the final words with a flourish:
THE END!
