<human>: Can you give me a shortened version of the text?

One time as a child (around 10) I was home sick, and everyone had left. I was awoken by a loud CRASH from the front door and a shuffling sound. I was alone in the top bunk, with my door closed but I could hear it quite clearly. 

I must have sat there for hours wondering if I should get up, remembering how far the phone was so I could call the police without being detected; but I was paralyzed with fear. Eventually I got up the courage and walked out there with some sort of baseball bat, and it was...

My dad. My dad, for whatever reason, had broken our door down. And was quite non-nonchalant about it. I had nearly dropped a brick in my bunk bed because of this!!!
<bot>: I was home sick alone and someone breaks down my door, I spent hours being scared and it turned out to be my dad.
