Have been feeling slightly off-kilter all day today. Last night, someone knocked loudly on my door and then dashed away, at 2:30am. I awoke instantly of course, my heart pounding, and heard someone skittering away down the hall. I live in a single room apartment (separate kitchen and a large walk-in closet) and from my bed I can see underneath the door; no one was standing there. The building itself is enclosed, with a locked front and back door. It's quiet, too, without much coming and going at odd hours. Everyone pretty much does the nine-to-five thing, and there is very little door slamming or loud voices during off hours. So this was unsettling, waking me as it did from a deep sleep. Was I snoring too loud? I do that sometimes. Did someone bang on my door to quiet my snoring? I slept fitfully afterwards and woke feeling kinda loogy. The whole day, everything has felt just a touch—sideways. Damn punk kids!

Thrill me
