Journal 23

Hello everyone! A freaky thing happened this week. The night before my partner left for a trip, there were strange noises outside my house. I was sitting next to a window that was covered by a thin curtain. Suddenly I saw a bright white-blue light shine in from outside. The angle came from below. Given the height of the window from the ground, it strongly suggested a human with a flashlight. 

The incident immediately reminded me of a time I witnessed a house burglary in the area. (Not a very advanced burglary because we were gathered around a chiminea in the adjacent lot.) Since this week’s strange incident coincided with my partner leaving, the timing was a little unnerving. A few minutes after the light, there were more strange noises. A few minutes after that, a neighbor’s dog started barking. 

It’s sad. A person should feel safe in their own home. 

Hope you had a less scary week than mine and let’s look out for one another in our neighborhoods.
