Looking at the clock:
Fifteen minutes till midnight
Smiling, turning back to the computer screen.
He's coming!
Checking the email one more time;
Reading the last few messages,
Shutting it down, turning out the lights.
He's coming!
Climbing the stairs,
Walking into the bathroom,
Washing face, brushing teeth.
He's coming!
Walking down the hall to the bedroom,
Turning on the lamp,
Changing cloths, combing hair.
He's coming!
Climbing into bed,
Turning out the light.
Looking at the clock: 12:02 (not too late)
He's coming!
Turn on the TV,
Listen...
"Out of the night when the full moon is bright..."
Smiles,
he's here!
Zorro has arrived.
