Mouse Attack!
Jan. 26th, 2005 05:33 pmI just had an astounding experience last night!
About 5.30 in the morning, while I was soundly sleeping, I was awoken to a strange feeling of something crawling on my left shoulder towards my face. In the darkness of my room, I couldn't determine what it was, but my right hand shooed it away reflexly. I sat up, and saw that undefined thing ran very quickly towards the bottom of my TV stand. Because my right hand didn't touch it, and I still couldn't see much (my room was pretty dark last night), and I was half awake, I thought I had been dreaming or halucinating. I turned on the light, and waited for a while. But after not hearing or seeing anything for a while, I turned the light off and prepared to go to sleep again.
Seconds later, I heard a light rumbling sound of plastic and other light sounds as if something was running and hitting stuff (boxes, etc) on its way. So I immediately turned on the light again, and to my surprise, my half-conscious guess was right: there was a mouse running to the bottom of my TV stand! O_O So I jumped from the bed, and told my maid to prepare a mousetrap with food and placed it in front of my bedroom (and left the bedroom door wide open) to lure the mouse out of my room. I migrated to my parent's room to resume my sleep. About an hour later, the mouse was caught in the trap. But I didn't go back to sleep in my room. Still a bit traumatic about it. Thank God I wasn't bitten. My mom's finger was once bitten by a mouse while she was sleeping. We really should keep a cat in the house. But my mom refused completely, saying that toxoplasma is very dangerous for women and babies and children. Oh well. No use debating with doctors ^^;
Anyone ever had a similar experience? Hope not, though ~_~
