2am

The one time you manage to get the bathroom entirely to yourself, leaving cats out in the hall, is of course going to be the time when something makes a weird sound in the heat duct. The one time that something jiggles the register right by your foot as you're sitting on the toilet. The one time when you'd actually like to have the cat in the bathroom with you.

Now, I admit, I never really got over being nervous in the dark. Granted, a well lit bathroom would not classify as dark, but it is most certainly a dark night, and only a few lights are on in the house.

And I had just been watching an anime full of really ugly vampires. And I've had some weird-ass creepy experiences.

So there are few more lights on in the house.

And cats in the room with me. Through they're after my turkey based snack and not things in the ductwork.
