I'm watching you

Last night, I fell asleep on the couch. It was supposed to be for a late day nap, but I ended up sleeping all night with just a few exceptions.

Right before my nap, I threw Milo and Zailey outside. They ended up being out all night. They didn't like this and they showed it by knocking on the door. This woke me up several times.

One time, I woke up to find that Zailey was sitting at the back door. She was watching me and didn't move. It was really odd since the light outside was on and there was no light inside. She shouldn't have been able to see me. Was she just staring inside and not really at me?

A couple of times when Zailey would knock, I would wake to find her standing at the door. She would be looking right at me like she wanted me to come let her in. I just went right back to sleep.

I've had some stories take some creepy turns. Some were premeditated, others were a little more organic (as in, the creepiness just comes out of nowhere).

One of the stories that I started in my writing workshop this last week ended up being a dark story with a killing in it. Just a little creepy, but not bad. Then I got this idea that I needed to add in a ghost to the story that is watching after his daughter. That totally changes the dynamic to the story and sends the creepy factor over the top. I'm not sure I want to finish this story, but I'm thinking about it.

Between Zailey creeping me out in the night and my own brain creeping me out, I have a rather weird life. Damn it, but I like it!
