at night

You know sometimes when the phone is ringing while you are sleeping and your hand automatically reaches over to answer it. You sort of answer the questions of the caller on the other side of the phone. But as soon as the receiver is put down, you are fast asleep again. And when you wake up again, you wonder if it was a all a dream or you really did do all those things and answer all those questions?

IF it were just that, I wouldn't need to be blogging about this. But about a week ago, I had one of those crazy four hour "naps" again. I couldn't fall asleep until 4am after reading my book. I was sleeping soundly when I suddenly woke up to the sounds of someone banging on my door. My door has an inside lock not visible from the outside. That someone or something was banging REAL hard and loudly. Then there was a distinct scuttling sounds from the ceiling. It was still pitch black outside and without my glasses I couldn't tell the time.

I seriously at that moment considered that there was a robber in the house. I wouldn't have been surprised if I woke up the next morning hearing my mother shouting at the top of her voice that the television set is gone and all electronic goods stolen. My heart was racing like mad and I was so scared I couldn't even find my phone in the dark.

I stuffed my pillow over my head and tried to go back to sleep. Which miraculously(actually, not surprising), I did. I didn't really sleep well but when I woke up, it was already bright outside. I opened the door slowly. I looked out, but everything was still there. Everyone was cool and calm. So, there wasn't a robber after all! Phew.... but then again, what WAS those banging sounds? Oh shiet...
