I can’t sleep. I mean, I’m tired. Quite tired in fact, but once I was in bed I started hearing noises.
Now, I live in a dinky little apartment. No one could be hiding in here for more than about 10 seconds. And I know what the noises are. It’s my upstairs neighbor thumping around. I think it’s payback for the fact that I have 4 loud alarm clocks that go off at 5:15 AM.
But that doesn’t help. I heard them, and I started thinking “what if it’s someone trying to get into my apartment?”. So I had to check. And even after I had checked, my fight or flight response had kicked in.
So, what I’m saying is, anyone want to come keep me safe from the things that go bump in the night? Or at least be the one who has to get up and check on them?
