Got out of the shower, dried off, headed to bed.
Realized I still had to let the dog out to pee.
Made my towel into a skirt, leashed up the dog, walked into the back yard in the dark.
Dog peed, I turned around to head back to the house.
Suddenly saw someone about 10 feet away from me, barely visible in the darkness, crouched down low, moving real slowly, carrying a shiny metal weapon.
Totally silent, even when I asked "who the fuck are you?"
Hauled ass back to the house and turned on the patio light...
