Ghost

There is a ghost in my house.

It takes the form of a spectral Siamese and appears at the most peaceful and quiet, gloaming moments, causing me to start quite suddenly when pale blue eyes glow all at once out of the dusk-lit main room and it looks like my Futon cubes on which my feet are resting are moving (which is slightly unsettling).

Then I jump.

Then he freezes.

Then I say, 'KEEEEEtttyyyyyy!'

And then he scampers trippingly through the kitchen, over the herbs and out the kitchen window.

And then he does the whole thing again about two hours later and appears shocked, utterly shocked, that there is a person in here.
