fingers running through my hair, i'm laying in the darkness trying to fall asleep. but sleep has not been coming easily to me in the past few weeks.
until after a very odd event which occurred to me last night.
here's the story.
it's three in the morning and i'm just laying there. can't sleep, tossing and turning when all of a sudden i hear a very loud
thump.
i shoot up in the air, forgetting that the top bunk dips low, smacking my head on it's large red bars.
"ahhh! who's there?!" i say, rubbing my forehead.
i can hear shuffling, like whoever is there is panicing that they're caught. i crawl out of bed and bump the light.
right in front of me is a 7 ft. tall, multicolored yeti.
i am taken aback, but i try not to be rude. i simply bow my head and say
"hi."
"hello." he responds, in a very deep voice. we just stare at each other for awhile. I hate staring, so i break the silence.
"i hate to be rude sir, but i was wondering what you're doing in a place like, erm, well, my bedroom. and especially at three in the morning, clearly uninvited?"
he looks down at his feet and begins to scratch his head shyly. he is clearly embarrassed.
"well miss, i am really quite sorry. i didn't mean to be so loud and i surely didn't mean to wake you."
"oh, don't worry about that," i say "i can't sleep anyway. but you've yet to answer exactly why you're here. in my room."
"oh right. yeah." he fumbles, finally making eye contact again. "i'm afraid i can't tell you."
"oh. well that's quite unfortunate." i sigh, "because i'm quite curious."
"i'm sorry again miss, but i really must go."
"alright! well, um, thanks for stopping in!" i open my bedroom door and gesture to lead him out. i offer him some tea or hot kool-aid, but he says he is allergic to human food.
he then bids me adieu and heads out the front door into the city of fargo/moorhead.
i then go back downstairs to my room and cuddle up in my blankets and surprisingly fall right to sleep.
so the reason i wasn't sleeping was because my sleeping energy was off, which meant there was a yeti stuck in a portal above my room.
clogged portals are really loud to your subconscious mind, you know.
....i've gone mad.
We've all gone mad,dear.
