Midnight. I woke up and went to the toilet.

I finished my business and flushed. I wiped my hands on the towel hanging on the wall. I went to close the door.

Plop. The sound of water.

Considering the extent of the splash the sound was awfully loud. Was something blocked inside the tank? If so, the next time someone used it could be troublesome. Better to fix it now.

With the water still running I lifted the lid of the tank. I peered through the small gap.

There were eyes.

Our eyes met.

I silently closed the lid and went back to my room.
