Game of Thrones - House Lannister

What's Her Story # 22 - A Way In

The house was quiet and dark,
Rapping with the Lion's head door knocker,
Made the darkness grow with an eerie silence.
She circled the stillness, looking for life.
When none answered her eyes or ears,
She decided to look for another way in.

Checking both doors, found them locked,
So she searched for an unfastened window.
Coming upon one opened just a crack,
Was her invitation to go right on in.

Pushing it open without a sound,
She hoisted herself up onto the sill.
Then she heard the hammer click,
An unmistakable sound of a thirty-eight.

Hanging half-way out and half-way in,
She glanced up and saw a man.
He grasped the gun, pointed right at her,
And dared her to move one more inch.

She let out a fearful cry, and yelled,
"Dad, don't shoot, it's me!"

22. She must have lost her damn mind, climbing through a window in the dead of night.
