time creeps at the edge of night in the cusp of morning is when all the strange hangs out at my house 2:25am I hear a scraping sound on the back porch ghosts are roaming about peeking in through the windows no it is an alien that has come to take me for a ufo night cruise no it is some serial killer with a penchant for thin small screwdrivers he is carving my death letter on the deck a small sound like a pebble dropping comes from downstairs I shouldn't have bought that vintage dollhouse it is most likely haunted the dolls are probably angry their tiny liquor bottles are just plastic right now they are arming themselves with toothpicks to stab me in the cornea when I fall asleep I won't fall asleep until it is light outside I hear a book drop in the next room sounds are flying at me from every direction it is too late to sage the house all the smoke alarms will go off my husband is dead asleep the dogs are asleep he isn't snoring how unusual I check to see if he is breathing he is I can't sleep with all this activity footsteps and breathing the faint sound of a radio in the distance I turn the hall light on shut the bedroom door so I can't hear the downstairs sounds growing louder in the slit of light underneath the door I can see a dark shadow someone is standing there the light flickers or did I just blink? I don't know I hear water running a knock on the wall another knock please no more knocks is that dust on the wall? why is there dust on the wall? maybe I should dust the walls no I am not going downstairs to get the duster the dolls the shadow man the aliens and the ghosts are outside this room and oh my God! they are probably in here too I will just turn on all the lights ok I am fine it is only about four more hours until Jeremy wakes up and the sun comes out I will just watch a cooking show on my computer and wear these rosary beads like a necklace and not look in the direction of my closet door because it is slightly open I know I definitely closed that 2:58 am the witching hour is only twos minute away if things get worse... shit did the closet door just open another inch? I am just going to wake Jeremy up convince him to watch diners, drive ins and dives with me until 4:00 and then maybe I will fall asleep I shouldn't have drank caffeine after 3pm or ate all that chocolate at night now I will have nightmares if I do fall asleep I just won't sleep until tonight get myself back on a normal sleeping schedule maybe while I am at it I can declutter take up jogging learn to meditate drink kale smoothies wait ... what was that noise?
