Hello?
It is just me. You are still in bed you say. Well that is alright,
please don't hang up I need to tell you something I think you
are going to find very interesting…
It
was a week ago that I first came aware of it on my kitchen ceiling;
it might have been there for weeks for all I know. I just happened
to notice it as I was sitting at my kitchen table enjoying kippers,
poached eggs and orange juice. For some unexplainable reason I
felt like I needed to look up… And as I did I noticed a small
splotch on my ceiling, right in the corner which adjoins to my
dining room. It is hard to express exactly what it looked like
and I had never seen anything quite like it before. I guess you
could say it was a greenish gray in color, and looked like it
had the texture of a cold gooey rice pudding. It was about the
size of a saucer. I stared at it a while, but then I noticed the
time, realizing that I had a long days work at the post office
to contend with.
I
didn't much consider it further for a couple of days, in fact.
To be honest, I had almost forgotten all about it. That was at
least until last Tuesday. I once again found myself having breakfast;
Smokey bacon, two slices of toasted Hovis and some farm fresh
scrambled eggs, and a glass of freshly squeezed grapefruit juice.
I cannot understand it, but over the last month I have had a huge
appetite, and have gained almost a stone in weight, but I am enjoying
food more than I ever have done before. Anyhow, as I sat there
contently chomping away I noticed, to my amazement, that my blotch
had grown in size considerably as it was now about three foot
square. I suppose, in retrospect, I should have done reacted to
it right there and then, called in a professional or something.
But I did not; I simply stared and studied it for about half an
hour. It was strangely fascinating and I almost imagined that
it was staring right back at me, plotting and planning.
This
brings us directly to this morning. I awoke at my usual 6:25 A.M
to the delightful and whimsical sounds of BBC radio Yorkshire,
and as I was lying there in the darkness contemplating my delicious
pork sausages, baked beans and fried mushrooms which I was going
to prepare for breakfast. It took me a moment to realize that
I was completely unable to move my legs. Confused and I have to
admit scared I managed to reach out and with some enormous effort,
managed to put on my bedroom light. As I peered down to see what
on earth was containing my legs I couldn't help but scream…
Yes, of course, you have guessed my plight haven't you? My blotch,
please understand, is currently positioned directly over my feet,
I can feel the warmth of it, and my feet are tingling somehow,
what is more within its peculiar mass I can definitely define
something that looks rather like an unblinking eye. But that isn't
what intrigues me the most, as there also appears to be some sort
of a proportionally oversized mouth formed, and it appears to
be actually salivating. It now is as big as I am, perhaps bigger.
It is strange though, I am not afraid, not even a little bit.
I admit at first I was, but at right now I actually feel calmer
and more mentally alert than I can ever recall. Somehow I felt
compelled to pick up the phone and dial you, I am not sure why.
But you see for some bizarre reason I completely understand what
they want, needs, and intend. Yes, that is quite right, I did
say they… Bother, I can no longer move anymore, It is fine
really, I understand everything now, but I think that you should
look up at your ceiling.
The end.
