A few days ago, I was standing in my bathroom brushing my hair and singing in the mirror. For those of you who don’t know, I’ve been living in a one bedroom apartment by myself for a few months now. Anyway, so there I was, singing and brushing my hair, minding my own business, when all of a sudden I heard it. You know that “noise” you hear in your head, and all of a sudden you know that someone is in your shower. Don’t lie. I know you know exactly what I’m talking about.
This was the first time; I’ve had this experience since I’ve been living on my own. So just like any normal person, I quickly finished getting ready and ran off to work, hoping that I would soon forget about my over active imagination. But let’s not lie to ourselves here, my jobs boring and what else was I going to do for hours but sit around and think about the person in my shower who was going to kill me.
That’s when I started thinking. I knew that when I got home, the first thing I was going to do with check my shower. Don’t laugh, because I know you’ve all done it at some point in your life. It’s natural instinct. So we walk into the bathroom, stand in front of the shower and slowly pull back the curtain to find an empty tub just as you last left it. But, has anyone every thought about what they would do if someone was in fact in the shower? Because at that point you just set yourself up to be killed. The murder or kidnapper or whatever was in your shower, was perfectly content hiding, until you pulled back the curtain.
In reality, we would probably all scream and start running, but by the time you’ve unlocked the bathroom door and tried to get out, they already got you!
Next time, I hear a noise in that bath-room, I’m just going to leave it there. Eventually one day, the monsters going to get me anyway.
