Hey, Allen...

[hold-this-a-sec.livejournal.com]

...y'ever hear the story 'bout the Intruder?

[crownedge]

I wonder what the creak is...

[crownedge]

What intruder?

[hold-this-a-sec.livejournal.com]

It's a special kinda ghost, y'know. Kinda looks like a cat that follows you around an' then it sits outside your house. It can't come in if the door's closed 'n all so it can't really get ya, but...

[hold-this-a-sec.livejournal.com]

It waits!

[crownedge]

For what?

[hold-this-a-sec.livejournal.com]

It's like this-

Whenever you're enterin' your home after dark, the Intruder is watchin'. It's got bright eyes that are green like mine is, 'cept it doesn't have pupils. Other than that, it's got no real features other than the fact it's kinda seven feet tall 'n in the shape of'a cat.

Anyway, when you enter your home after dark, it sits 'bout ten feet away from the door, not even tryin' to hide itself! It has no real noises, so the only time y'can hear it is when it's scratchin' or tappin' the side of your house. If you're outside the house 'n run at it and kick dirt at it, it'll run.

But once you're back at the door, the Intruder comes back to the place where it was 'n continues to watch you.

It waits outside 'cause whenever you enter your house and unlock it, it's listenin' to the sound the keys make. It's waitin' until it can discern the shape of your key by the noise the lock makes.

'Cause it wants to kill you!

[hold-this-a-sec.livejournal.com]

But it can't, 'cause it can't kill you until it gets into your house.
