House Taken Over

The siblings' agitation, nervousness, and fear is evident when they try to sleep...... because they can't.

We
 had
 the 
living
room
 between
 us,
 but
 at 
night
 you
 could
 hear
 everything
 in
 the
 house.
 We
 heard
 each
 other
 breathing,
 coughing,
 could
 even
 feel
 each
 other
 reaching 
for
 the 
light
switch 
when as happened frequently, 
neither
 of
 us
 could
 fall 
asleep.
