After getting up to use the bathroom, I could not get back to sleep. The air was stifling warm and I didn’t like it! Tossing and turning, this way and that, all I could do is try praying away my mind chatter. I heard a single sound – a sound from the paper feed to my fax machine. It almost sounded like a tap but with a definite paper sound. I craned my head to the right and read the atomic clock: 3:39am. The incident probably occurred much earlier because I was too lazy to find out the time.
Then an hour or so later, another single pop came from the bedroom window blinds. I was thinking someone or something was in my room (as usual) — probably old granny or a friend who hasn’t returned my damn phone call or ever will keep his damn promises!
