It was really of no consequence to me. Somehow I had a feeling that the animal would move on soon. I just had to sit tight. I shut everything tight again that night,
and started to prepare for bed.
I began to lay down. Oddly, I started to feel hungry. I ignored it, because it was late, and I wanted to go to bed. I lifted my legs up off the floor and onto the bed.
Strangely enough, there was a slight aching in my joints as I did this. I rolled over and tried to sleep. What felt like small cramps started to form in my gut. I broke
into a cold sweat.
