ok, so its really late/early. and i'm super scared right now. let me tell you why....
this morning i woke up and my house phone started ringing. i ran into the kitchen to pick it up, but just as i was about to the screen on the phone said "extension in use". but, i remember my sister leaving to go spend the night with a friend. so i went up stairs to where the other phone is, and it was dead. you couldnt even turn it on. well, i blew it off. i figured it was just some fluke. and went about my business. but later on in the day, it happened again. again, it freaked me out, but i didnt really pay any attention to it.
well, tonight, after everyone had gone to bed, i went downstairs to watch tv. bc i cant really sleep if i know i dont have anything to do. so i'm watching the tube and i feel like a smoke. so i go outside and sit down on my front porch. i look up to see the figure of a man across the street behind the chain link fence. just sitting there. i cant see his face or anything like that. but because a light was on in the house where he was at, i could make out that there was a body there.
now, the background on this house is that its a rent house. the only one i know of in my neighborhood...not the point but still. anywho, and the people who are there now, no one sees too often. and sometimes they just leave their garage door open at night--all night. they have kids and a lot of the time it looks like no one is home. so this alone always caught me as a little funny. but whatever, maybe everyone over there works weird hours. ok so that the background. and on with the rest of my story...
so i try not to pay attention, bc of course im watching murder shows in my house. bc thats what i do. a little later on i go back outside and smoke again. but this time, i dont see anything out there. mainly because the light that was on earlier isnt on anymore. so naturally i think no one is there. i finish my cig and go back inside.
cut to a few hours after that- i'm getting tired and i want to go to bed, so i decide to have one last smoke before the journey to dream land. again, its dark on the other side of the street. after i light up my cigarette though, someone over where i saw the guy earlier lights up a cig too. so i just sit there, wondering how long theyve been there and wonder if theyve been watching me, because i sure as hell was looking over in their direction.
so, now im sitting in my room that faces that house. my blinds wont shut all the way--naturally--so whoever can see in.
it's really awesome. it's almost 4am and im scared to death to go to sleep. sure, i may be overreacting, but jeez. c'mon, when does this happen? that's right, horror movies.
damnit.
UPDATE:
i called my buddy that works for the PD in my town. to see if he would mind driving by to see of the guy was still outside. and this time i finally went up stairs to my room to see if could shut my blinds anymore. and when i walked up to the window, i saw the guy again. sitting in his chair only this time its facing my effing window. the light is on in his house again, so i can see him pretty well. but when my buddy tells me he's turning on my street, the guy disappears. the chair is still sitting there on the side of this house, turned towards my house (my window imparticular), but there's no one in it.
i'm facing the facts now- i'm just not gonna be able to sleep until someone wakes up. |
