Fear  in darkness strike the mysteries

At 2:24 AM on a chair no doze, something passed like a shock. I felt the impact and…. sound crumb striking across the wall.

Everything dancing in the room– I scan from a wide mirror adjacent to where I was facing. The well lit room remain in disarray. 

I turn around and looked at the window, my bed, sideboard but all I could see was up and down movement. “I’m thinking it was a nightmare but seem to be a turmoil.” I kept that in mind before I strike to pen down this night hazard.

I wonder whether it was really a natural disaster or our traditional ancestral spirit. Now,“would it be the power of our pass or the real Quaker? Time passes me in darkness. I fail to sleep. I turn on the TV, no breaking news.

At 3:38AM a huge sound again. I heard a flowing sound preferably of trucks. Again the shaking lasted fro another 1o minutes while glasses and closet shatter continues to shake.

The noise reduces although I could hear a usual wave flowing through the window that made my night sleepless.
I confess this is  hilarious  at the beginning of the first day of the  month I was  born.
