Fear of the dark!

Just yesterday, I ran to my sister's place to give her a list of books that needed to be returned to the library. Went with her, spent some time at her place and then came home around 1am in the morning or night (some people say it either ways)...listening to Iron Maiden's FEAR OF THE DARK on my iPOD!...

It was pitch dark outside...
Not a soul on the road...



Have you ever been alone at night
Thought you heard footsteps behind
And turned around and no-one's there ?
And as you quicken up your pace
You find it hard to look again
Because you're sure there's someone there

Suddenly, I heard a rustling sound in the bushes...
Something crawled past me...
A dark huge monstrous shadow...
Something I had never seen before...
I ran and it followed me...
I quickened up my pace and at the end of it all...I saw that it was a skunk that was trying to run away from me, and its shadow kept growing bigger just because the light was angled at it in such a way!...
PHEWW!!!!...i took a breather and went home!

Have you run your fingers down the wall
And have you felt your neck skin crawl
When you're searching for the light ?
Sometimes when you're scared to take a look
At the corner of the room
You've sensed that something's watching you.

Reached home, threw the keys on the couch...
Reached to turn on the lights...but they wouldnt turn on...
Something was not right...
I felt shadows in my room...the moonlight from the window making it even more creepier...
I went to take a look...

Suddenly, I heard that same rustling sound again...
The one I heard in the bushes...it was outside my window...and its shadow grew taller...

CLICK!...i heard the sound of a camera's flash...

The lights went on...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

This was the creepiness I felt in the room!...
My sister called me to distract me when my friends were arranging a surprise for me at home!!!...

What a night?!...
