premise: It was clearly a person who had a short , quiet stride , which I heard amplified in the dried leaves . The person stopped against my house , just below my bedroom , and pushed against a window . I slipped from bed and tried first to look out , but it was impossible to see the area where the person stood . I dressed and found a flashlight , then slipped out a door on the opposite side of the house . Why did you leave out of the opposite door of your home ?
hypothesis: I wanted to surprise the person by sneaking up on them
