Some Things Dwell in Silence by Michael Some things dwell in silence yet, you are unaware. They do not breathe, but still they live and wait. They rest at the foot of your bed while you sleep. They watch. Should you awaken, they quickly scurry off, sometimes... A friend of mine once had one follow him to the bathroom in the wee hours of the morning. He caught a quick glimpse of this thing in the mirror. He moved. It followed. It ALWAYS follows once it's been SEEN. I was asleep one night with my left arm hanging off the side of the bed. I was awakened suddenly by something holding my hand. I screamed! I stayed up the rest of the night. Boo! |

I must be tired, as I thought it was your shadow, and read this totally different than anyone else. But if you do it ooga booga, it is kinda scary alright, but fun! If you have a choice to sit down or dance, dance! |
