"'Something is going to happen,' thought the mother as she woke up one cold November morning. The house was quiet and dark. Everyone else was still asleep. The father was still asleep. The little boy was still asleep, and so was the little girl. Even the little black dog curled up at the foot of the bed was still asleep.
