(8) "Ohhhh, if only U.S.Marshal Matt Dillon and Sunshine were here...... THEY'D know what to do!" That's what my slightly obsessed friend would have said when I first heard those sounds in the attic. Well, I wish they had been there that day as I had no clue what to do, and what I did next wound up costing me big time.
It all started in the early evening. I was (1) restless and was sitting on the porch. (2) The howl of the banshees down on the moor didn't bother me. I was used to that sound having dealt with my cell phone company for a long time.
It was something else. (5) The noise from the attic was very faint at first, but grew lounder as the evening passed. It sounded like a bunch of folks having a weird party up there. Odd growling sounds, and scratching, and hissing and much more.
I was afraid to go up there alone, so I called my friend Jill who had recently been released from captivity by my cell phone company (you'll have to read this story for the details on that http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AisA1gb_yqGXJjahQjysFhnty6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20071101034214AAzNGi0&show=7#profile-info-AA12290185).
The noise was getting louder and more disturbing as I listened to the ringing tone. "(9) "Quick!!! Answer you cell phone!!" I kept thinking until after what seem like an eternity, she finally answered.
I explained about the noise in the attic, and asked if she would come over and go up there with me. "Just hold on there buckaroo" she said (she talks funny sometimes). I remember the last time I went upstairs with you (recalling the abandoned house incident,no doubt). I don't mind (3) dancing with the devil once, but am not anxious to do it again. (4) "Why did you have to mention that!" I replied. "Can't you just forgive and forget. After all, I did get you a good cell phone rate in the end." She relented a little when I reminded her of that and came right over.
I should never have made that call and I should have suspected something the minute she walked in the door. Instead of asking about the noise in the attic, the first thing she said was (7) "Who on earth desiged this room...A deranged interior designer?" I hated to admit that it was all my doing. She laughed and laughed at the furnishings, my knick-knacks, the colors, the carpets...just about everything, even pictures I had around the room. Noting one in particular she asked, (10) "Whose that in the picture on the shelf over there? " adding "They look like the cast of Star Wars." When I told her those were my friends from college, she almost fell on the floor with laughter.
She stopped laughing when she heard more loud sounds from the attic, but would not agree to go up there with me until I signed a contract with her to redo all the rooms downstairs. That was when I learned she was an interior designer herself. Well, I didn't want to go in the attic by myself, so I signed on the dotted line, as I had done with the cell phone company years before.
Once I signed, she was anxious to get up there and urged me to hurry up. As I pulled the drop down ladder revealing the stairs to the attic, I heard her giggling behind me, like she knew something I didn't know. I finally understood when I peeked over the edge of the doorway into the attic and saw that same strange "network" of folks I had first met in that abandoned house with Jill years ago. They were working for her now and were very happy to know I was locked into a long term contract for her to redo the house with their help.
Well, I've spent over $10,000 so far, with no end in sight. I just hope she gets done before I am flat broke. They say "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned" and I believe Jill is trying to epitomize that statement. To make things worse, the cell phone company just upped my rate. Jill seemed delighted by that turn of events too.

I was feeling Restless tonight. Strange, I feel that every night!
I can hear the howl of the banchees. Strange, how is it possible when the doctor said I am hearing imaginary things!
Ahh...i feel like dancing with the stars and the moon. WHY did you have to mention that. Yes, mention the fact that it is restless tonight(oh god! it is that voice in my head agian)
The sound in the attic was very faint. I had to investigate.
I brought my 2 teddy bears and the tin soldier. (did i mention they can walk) So here we were in the basement. Suddenly, there was a loud bang. . We all ran out the door at once....We all got STUCK in the door. Who on earth designed this room....A deranged interior designer?8. Ohhhh, if only U.S.Marshal Matt Dillon and Sunshine were here...... THEY'D know what to do!
(A voice in my head) Quick!! Answer your cell phone !
I reached into my pocket and pulled out the phone.
Hmmm..spooky...there was no ringtone.
Suddenly, the lights come on. The director says cut, "They look like the cast of star Wars!"
Grrr... we will have to start again.
