About Last Night
So my apartment appears to be haunted by something that drops pennies on me in the shower. I don't want to get into that right now. But let's just say that, yes, it appears to be pennies and more now.
So Duncan left for work this morning at 6AM. I went back to sleep. And I had the freakiest dream that somebody was holding me down to the bed, and I was trying to wake up, but they wouldn't let me. I was sort of awake, but sort of asleep - hard to describe. I couldn't see the person, but I felt them, holding me down, and I heard them say, "I won't let you wake up," and things of that nature, repeatedly. I guess eventually it went away.
So, obviously, I did wake up eventually. But I woke up hours late, at almost noon. The power went off in my apartment and my cell phone alarm didn't work. So what woke me up was this loud sort of banging, which was coming from the apartment above me and the other two apartments on my floor. I didn't really think much of it, but it was annoying. So I go into the bathroom, and not only are there two new pennies in the tub, there's this green smile goop on the tub, toilet, sink, and mirror. I have no idea what it was or where it was from -- it wasn't mold or cleaner, and it wasn't poop -- but luckily it cleaned up easily. I also had the thought that the building is usually quiet during weekdays, as I think all the other tenants have dayjobs. And there was no maintenance work going on that I'm aware of, and all was quiet when I left for work.
And then I realized that there isn't an apartment above mine! There is my loft, and then the roof. And it sounded like there were people walking around and talking directly above my living room.
And last night? I was talking to Dunc about moving out and we, for the first time really, seriously talked about living together and sorta tentatively started looking at apartment listings.
Could my maybe-ghost be trying to make me leave, or get me to stay? Enquiring minds want to know!
