god of iced coffee

things that go bump in the night

  1. many things if you have a cat
  2. even more things when it’s more than one cat
  3. the drunk guy outside who yells random stuff sometimes
  4. my jacket on a chair in the corner of my room
  5. the two unfinished suicide notes on my notes app
  6. the neighbor’s aircon unit dripping from lack of maintenance

i had a children’s book with that title. things that go bump in the night. maybe in the dark. they might have altered the phrase, idk. a little pop-up book with flaps that you pull and little paper ghosts and ghouls pop up

eh.

it gets better and then it doesn’t and then it does and it doesn’t and it does and it doesn’t and it does and doesn’t and the squishy thing in my skull goes bump in the night and i let it because it never listens anyway

#cats #i am simultaneously narcissistic and self-degrading as a result of main character self awareness
