I Really don't want to know

I Don't Want to Know

I am sure that there are many things left unsaid...and not explained. Today was one of those days...No, let me rephrase that statement. Today something happened that made me really not want to know what is going on.

I have told you about 'the other side' of what I sit. My desk is partitioned in such a way, that I cannot see my 'neighbour'...Now, there is no one beside me physically. The last human occupant has moved.

Yet...
There is still something there.
The soft clicks of the keypads being typed on, the squeaks of the chair, the quiet, but heavy breathing sounds all suggest that there is somehow, someone...something there.

Last week, I went to check...In brought daylight, there was a tingle in my spine and I cautiously tried to find out the source of what had put all my senses on full alert. I saw nothing...But when E when to check minutes later, there was someone...Oh...ok...but I definitely did not see anything earlier.

And today...when the rain fell suddenly, there was lightning.
The power tripped...and immediately darkness fell over the room...but not quite.
The lights...at the other side...was still 'alive'...Great right?

No...not great...
How can the other lights, controlled by the same switch have tripped, and not that one?
We looked up at the sensor alarm...all the rest were dead...except for the one above mine...blinking red..at irregular intervals.

And even though the airconditioning had shut down...I was shivering (in fear? of cold?) All the hair had stood on ends..

It was definitely a signal that we had to leave...
I know the presence was kind enough not to let me grope in the darkness...but it was just too scary for me to stay...

Gulp...what more can I expect?
