Moments before the wind

maypirateSo I was starting to doze off with my computer when Diane knocks on my door and says "I have to show you the freakiest thing."
She's like "You've read House of Leaves, right?" and proceeds to take me downstairs so we can look in through the basement door with a flashlight and she says "the other day, I swear I saw a room over there, with a chair and a cord for a light...but now? It's just a wall."
...and okay, it wasn't so much a wall as a door, right, but there was a light on behind it and we couldn't figure out what part of the house it was under. And she has someone she works with over, and he's totally non-plussed by any of this, so we show him the book and talk about how freaky it is, and how it's set in Virginia, and how our landlord has another property that was a funeral home and there's an embalming room in the basement that's all tiled and has a drain in the floor.
......but anyway, so the moral of the story is Diane comes in again after he leaves and reminds me that my storm window is open, and we try to shut it and we can't, and now she's gone to bed to listen to Poe's "Haunted" and I'm in my room and I'm afraid to put my back to the windows.
So Diane is awesome, but now I'll have to sleep with a light on.
And it's dark in Lisa's room. I hope her walls haven't turned black.
