Outer Limits - Jan. 18 2007

Last night was one of those surreal nights for me. Everything started when I heard something knocking on my window... (probably a cat).. But I am on the second floor of a building and I could not imagine a cat having access to my window ledge. I also didn't want to go check it out because I was kind of scared. The sound eventually migrated from outside to the inner walls and then I started thinking it might be a mouse! For a few minutes after that there was no sound, but then, all of a sudden I heard a small animal scream followed by a scurrying sound in the cieiling. I was already in a "freight mood" so that sound made me scream! (Ok, not like a little school girl, but just the kind of scream you would expect from someone that is suprised all of a sudden). The little scream continued for a bit and eventually died away... Having a very good imagination, that night I started thinking about those popular Japanese horror flics like Maru and Juon. (Turned into hollywood movies for American palette: The Ring and The Grudge). My surreal night ended with my frying pan unexplicably falling by itself on the ground (I swear!) but being too tired at that point, I didn't go confront the evil spirit that was trying to cook-up some meal in the middle of the night.
