You hear thumps. They keep waking you. Never distinctly loud but enough to shake you from slumber. You crane your neck in the direction of its source, your gaze penetrating darkness &...nothing. A short wait with no noise or perhaps numbed senses & sleep reclaims you. You awake abruptly to a series of them, much more pronounced. There's no one living above or around you so what the hell could this be? There's no one living above or around you so what the hell could this be? Remaining still, you struggle to match the patterns with any you can recall or associate them with. No frisky animals or strong winds. No slamming doors or other noises deceptively ricocheting ...nothing you can convince yourself of... Each time it takes considerably more effort to dull your senses & establish sleep. but you manage. A solid thud banishes sleep. Unmistakeable. This woke you, Not a dream. Not from above - from a nearby wall. This time breathing seems ill advised & a crippling sense of fear envelopes your frozen from in the darkness. You..want to say you sense a presence. A presence likely aware of you but before you could release interest in confirming this you felt...seperate from yourself. As though your current, horrifying situation was suddenly too dull for interest & other topics, instances & experiences were now incredibly relevant. Slowly inahling, for lack of breath, you'd swear you were high or still dreaming if you didn't know better. Is this an attack? a coping mechanism for this anxiety? The more you think, the more agonizing the thought process becomes. You feel less & less in control & before long you realize You were still frightened. You still wished to remain silent, motionless & think of nothing but the noise. Yet these thoughts were playing out in your head. Food you'd eaten, Places you've been, People you've spoken to....Things you...knew... It feels like you're being...accessed... you shoot up, swinging violently through the empty air and turn on the lights. You felt crazy..but no one was around to see or care...Your breathing was far from inaudible now and you could swear you heard thumps traveling, in a manner of footsteps, away You try not to let fear, confusion & anxiety consume you....but Your best is far from good enough. You're never sure whether to curse or appreciate what your senses aren't equipped to percieve.... So you're loud. At every opportunity. you leave the t.v. computer, radio...any noise producer on when you can. Rarely spotted without your headphones...but it changes nothing sometimes. you hear thumps.
