['Late last night I swore I heard some footsteps coming from my kitchen. I live alone and was convinced someone was in the house.', "It could've been a ghost or maybe a robber?", 'I grabbed my mace and tip-toed downstairs. I jumped in the kitchen and realized I had left my TV on. Oops!']
That's awesome that you have a mace. Are you king arthur by any chance?
I heard a noise in my house late last night. It sounded like someone was walking around in the kitchen. I grabbed my mace just in case.
