Things That Go Hiss In The Night

I had a scary dream last night. I took a cursed thing. It was like the Golam/Smeagel character in Lord of the Rings - which stems from a conversation I had with Pat last night. I took the "ring" because it called to me, pulled me, but it brought with it scary evil things. And so there I was - at 2:45 in the morning wide awake, heart pounding with a lump in my throat.

I turned on the light in my room. Summoning up my courage, I ventured across the hall to my bathroom and turned on the light.

Praying...praying...

I'm going to turn on the light in the dining room...

My bare feet on the cold hard wood...

Feeling the wall in the dark...smooth...smooth...smooth...and then I feel it, "Thank you God, the light switch..."

"Click - POP!!...hissssss..."

Light flashes in my eyes and retreats only in time to render me blind in the dark room, on the cold floor, my hand on the light switch...
