Unexpected Encounters
So my friend Nils and I are sitting on my sofa watching 'Ashura'. It's somewhere between one and three o'clock in the morning and we're exhausted, dozing a bit, not even laughing at the ridiculous movie any more.
Suddenly there was a thumping sound from the front porch, and as we twist around to look towards the entry, the front door FLIES open and a strange woman stumbles into the room.
There was dead silence.
Nils and I stared wide eyed at the intruder, rudely shaken from our Japanese action movie induced trance, unable to make a sound. The tall woman was dressed in a long brown skirt and non-descript top. She stared at us for a long moment. Her eyes slowly got bigger.
Silence. Nils and I continued to give her our best deer-in-headlights look.
"WHOOPS!" the woman announced, flinging an arm in the air and slowly backing/stumbling towards the door. "Wrong house!" As she fled the premises she tossed in a quick "I am so sorry" as she hurriedly closed the door behind her.
Nils and I sat in silence for another long moment.
"I think I'm going to go lock your deadbolt," Nils said finally.
Ah, drunk people......

Did this really happen???? This is why mothers are famous for constantly nagging about locking doors. Well, at least *this* mother is famous for it : )
Actually, ths post sounds like the beginning to a good movie!
Oh yes. It really happened. And although it's funny now, Nils and I were actually pretty creeped out. O_o
And I don't know if it's sounding like a GOOD movie.... more like a scary horror movie that I certainly don't want to be a part of! lol
Yeah, and as scary as it was--what if she had been a ZOMBIE!!! Please be careful, Becca. I don't want you to be the latest zombie statistic . . .
holy shit! that's ridiculous. nicely told too. :) keep that deadbolt locked!
