Did you ever get the
feeling you were being
watched when you knew you
were albne pr at least
thought you were alone?
It happened to me one
night a few weeks ago when I
was typing. My con-
centration was invaded by
the creepy sensation of eyes
boring into the back of my
head. The nape of my neck
prickled: I wanted to turn
around.
I chided myself : "It's your
imagination., dummy.
You've been watching too
many police shows on -
television."
The feeling persisted and I
gave in, glancing over my
shoulder to meet a pair of
beady eyes. His nose was
twitching: his front paws
were hooked over the edge of
the top of the door frame: his
Odds 'n ends
Finding an uninvited room mate
tail was stretched up the wall
in the corner.
Having a mouse scurry
away from. me across the
floor is one thing, folks. but
having him stare down at nie
from above a door is
something else. We stared at
each other for what seemed
like hours. Then I reached
for the phone.
"Hi ya, Dad! How are ya
doin? Sleeping. huh. I'm
sorry I didn't realize what
time it was. No, nothing's •
wrong. I just wondered how
you and Mom were.
By the way, if either of you
come into town tomorrow.
would you bring a mouse
trap with you? Yea. I got.a
mouse in the house. Well.
you know the ledge over the
door between the kitchen and
the bathroom? He's sitting
up there. watching me and
listening I suppose.
What would you suggest 1
do with him? I don't want a
pet. Dad.
He dbesn't look like the
scary type to me: I was just
kidding. As soon as I get off
the phone. I'm gonna get the
broom and chase him out of
there.

Then I remembered the
broom was in the storeroom,
which was on the other side
of the bathroom, which
meant I had to pass under
the mouse's perch to reach .
the broom - a minor com-
