Fear. Trembling. Guns. That was my night. How was yours?

The Noise is sooooo true, The amount of times my gf has woken me up to go check to make sure there is no one downstairs is ridiculous. I never hear anything, she always hears a Nicaraguan death squad.
 
Remember guys, The Noise is just an excuse to get you to head downstairs half asleep in hopes you stumble and fall to your death. No good can come from checking on The Noise.
 
ROFL! Another wonderfully written story about how Ned saves the day...or in this case, the night...only to end up getting stung in the end...

One of our dogs, the massive 11 lbs that he is, never notices fireworks, but the other monster, almost 6 lbs, goes fucking ballistic at every pop and bang he hears...and he hears every one in a 3 county area...

The barking starts as soon as he hears one, then off he runs (with the other one close behind) through the dog door to tell the world that he heard THE NOISE!

Shortly there after, he returns, victorious against THE NOISE!, until the next one...and the cycle repeats.

Our 12 year old cats don't pay the slightest bit of attention to THE NOISE, even when the Mexicans down the street shoot of the MOAB of fireworks right over our house...but the little yap dog hears...

You need a thumbprint pistol safe.

Just run up in the dark, place hand on top, it pops open and gun is inside.

Unless it's out of batteries. Whoops

Great story OP. You're the last remaining ATer that can write well.
 
Hey, I want to defend my gender here! Not all of us hear The Noise and wake up our husbands in a panic. :|






































I smell Smoke instead. 😛
 
Another great story.

I wonder though, couldn't an intruder lock the door once he/she was inside? Good thing you checked all those closets and made your jackets surrender!

We're not coming out the closet, so you can just go away.
