10.05am
A woman walks into a mostly white bathroom.

She then closes the door, removes her robe, and steps into the bathtub. She draws the shower curtain closed and picks up the shower gel.
She turns on the shower.
As she is showering, through the translucent shower curtain she doesn't see the door open.
The blank whiteness, the rush of the water. The only other sound her not very good singing.
A shadow slowly approaches, the shower curtain slowly moves back.
The woman reacts to the sound of the shower curtain, turns and screams.......

Then realises that she has been watching too many horror films as the cause of the shower curtain movement is medium-sized white fluffy dog called George.
