can't sleep
maybe its because of the late night/early morning dinner at the IHOP. maybe it's because its drinking green tea and a cafe mocha in the same hour. maybe its because of the buzz of the open mic night i hosted earlier. maybe its because of the ghost stories wendell, melinda, and vanessa exchanged. maybe its because of watching "the others" alone in the house...

whatever it is, I CAN'T SLEEP BECAUSE I AM HEARING THINGS IN THE HOUSE!!!!

shit.

and it is 3:45 am

tock

tick

tock

.... i hear dead people...

or maybe it is the house settling


or the old pipes clanking


but saying it is "dead people" make a better story to tell

whatever it is

please tell it to stop banging the walls
