One night I fell intio a fitfull sleep after not having ad much sleep the night before because I was up studying for a test. Maybe it was the over cunsumption of caffeine I had used to keep myself awake during classes. Well I woke up vomiting. The hot stinging chunkey packesd stomache acid was up in my nasal passage, I sat up holding one nostrils while blowing chunks of parcially digested food out of my nostrils and as I stumbled to the bathroom leaving my puke soaked pillow and bed behind I entered into the blinding light of the bath romm . I shielded my eyes with my right hand as i bent down to get a drink from the fossit. Filling my mouth with water I swished it around and spit out the chunks of food then I turned to my left grabbed some toilet paper and used it to blow my nose after doing so I curiousley looked at the tissue and saw remnants of carrots and hot dogs and a tiny string of blood clot and slime. I did'nt remember eating carrots. Anyways, my nose and mouth much better yet still not satisfied I squeezed a glob of tooth paste into my mouth and bent over the fossit I turned the fossit knob and filled my mouth with water I swished it around and spit it put. Ahhhh. I felt much better I changed the bedding and used a wet soapy rag to clean the matttress and put a clean towel over the wet spot to soak up the excess dampness.

After which I put a clean sheet on the bed and layed down. Suddenly I could here I had left the water on in the bathroom so reluctantly I through of the covers and entered the bathroom to shut the fossit off as I did I was startled to see a figure of someone small sitting on the edge of the tub, awhen in the corner of my eye when I turned I expected the apparition to disapear, Instead To my horror a little girl in an old fashioned tattered dress sitting looking at me with a smile. What are youu doing here? I asked. she she rummaged in her dirty pockets and to my horror she puled out a greesy black water rat. Smiling she bent over and ripped its back open with her teeth and began eating it with a smile as green entrails dripped onto her filthy tatered once fashionable dress. get the hell out of here I screamed. Angry she screamed so loud the windows rattled. the then said in a raspy mans voice whispered, "You get out!" Her face now contorted and her eyes crosed they suddenly uncrossed and darted about in crazed fear . " Is he here ?she said terrified and ran passed me I could hear her run downstairs into the basement. As I walked to the open door of my basement I heard her whisper "comedown here." I slammed the door shut and locked the door when I heard her scream. I reached up almost instictively for some reason and felt a crucifix on my chest, " He is here!" she screamed . Let me out!!!, just then I heard a scream and the basement window break. I looked outside and saw something black run from the basement window down our street lined street and into the darkness . I stayed up all night though I was'nt afraid any more,I skipped the next days class and moved out of the appartment. I had only lived in the appartment for two weeks, but that was enough. Today I sleep like a baby in my new appartment, my cross with me as always and my regenerated faith, in good.
