A/N: From P100 Challenge 130: 'Things that go bump in the night'. Thanks to the wonderfully Fred for the beta.

Connor sat in the dark as he watched “Triffids”.

Abby was out and Rex was sitting on the settee beside him, happily munching salad.

In a lull in the film, he heard a tapping sound.

Connor dismissed it as nothing.

But it came again and again.

A steady tap-tap-tap.

His heart thudded in his chest as he slowly turned to look.

Someone – something – was tapping on the window.

Swallowing dryly, Connor slowly crept and opened the curtains.

He sighed at the branch the wind was blowing against the window.

And screamed as Rex landed on his shoulder.

Hahaha! Well done Rex!

Brilliant and hilarious. :-)

Lol, poor Conn. Still the advantage of having a pet is those odd noises you hear in the middle of the night, you can just blame them on the dog/cat/prehistoric flying lizard and not worry so much.

Love the end line ;)

I watched the Triffids mini series a while ago and had a similar panicked moment when I was out walking and heard a similar noise - it was a gull's wings flapping as it flew overhead...

LOL! I can just imagine Connor's jump in freight!

Funny drabble :)

Poor Connor - haven't we all had moments like that before?! Minus Rex, of course.

Well done Rex!

LOL, nice one, Rex!

LOL! I suspect Rex did that on purpose, because he's a naughty little lizard, and has a wicked sense of humour.

LOL
Horror films can have such effect.
I remember I tried to keep an eye on the door and the other on the window as I was watching a horror film alone late at night. That just gave me headache on top of that I missed important scenes of the film.:)
