Suddenly, a strange noise woke up the girl. This time it wasn't the steps or the voices. Something squeaked and rustled outside the window. She gently felt the bed next to her and touched her husband. It wasn't him out there.... She wanted to wake him up, but then she changed her mind. What if he makes her laugh again? Nellie decided to see for herself first, what was the matter. It could have been a cat.... The girl stood up and went to the window . A faint moonlight penetrated through the curtain. There was a shadow outside the window.... Nellie almost screamed, but then remembered that not far from the window there was a tall tree with branches hanging down. Maybe it was the wind that moved them so much and pressed them against the glass .. They are the ones who opened the window. She spread the curtains and petrified with horror. There was an ugly face on the outside of the glass .. The wild eyes stared straight at her. The mouth was distorted by an abominable grin.
