What reading can cause you.

I usually take time reading before I hit the hay (always ends up reading a lot more and not sleeping). But, last night changed my reading routine..

As always, I lay on my bed reading the thick book called House of Leaves I recently bought. And when the clock hit 12, I closed my book and figured I should sleep now or else I will not be sleeping until morning (if I keep reading).

It's not me. It's the story in the book itself. When I read, it's like I'm in his world. Following through every detail, experiencing the same situations, mostly darkness. And hearing things I should've not imagined it myself.


I decided to sleep with the light on. And covered my eyes from the blinding light.

I heard voices, winding voices whispering at me. But I couldn't bring my eyes to open itself, not completely. I saw the light, but where's the cover? I swear I could see half of it, blurry.

And I tried to force my eyes to open. I brought my body up and my eyes were wide open, sick from the blinding light.

I walked out of my room, and laid beside my brother, who at that time was watching tv and on computer. I changed the channel, to ease myself. And I fell asleep, soundly, with a hint of security.

I woke up at 6.30AM for Subuh. I was on my bed again.

What exactly happened?

I sleepwalking?
I hate to stop reading this book coz it is yet to get to the climax and interesting facts. But I need my sleep.


That's why I'm a bit cranky today. Oh, and a bit sarcastic too.

Uuuu,an interesting story indeed.
It makes me want to read the House of Leaves.
Did you ask your bro about what happened? Maybe he lifted you up and brought you to your bed? Or maybe your father did that? Or maybe you're dreaming while you're actually sleeping on your bed?

Afnan! IT IS NOT INTERESTING, it's SCARY! XD
I think this book is perfect for you. I mean, it requires concentration and understanding to be able to follow the plot ;) It's not only about stories that happened in that house, also, about theories, this and that.

I did ask my brother about it. And he said yes, I did sleep in front of the tv but he didn't notice me walking back into my room. So the event actually happened. Just...I hope it won't repeat again. XD *IS A COWARD GIRL ACTUALL*
