[00:21.55]217房事件
[00:36.23]The man himself seemed to be watching me apprehensively,
[00:40.35]waiting to see what I would do.
[00:43.15]He was solid enough, wearing dark clothing,
[00:46.40]and in the odd lighting¹ he appeared very pale.
[00:51.90]I had a stranger in my room and I was scared.
[00:55.82]Without thinking I rolled over to my right and hit the light,
[01:00.27]when I looked behind me nothing was there.
[01:03.75]I was relieved
[01:05.35]and turned the light out thinking it was a dream.
[01:08.75]However the second my head hit the pillow
[01:11.39]my eyes were wide open and I immediately sat back up
[01:16.02]and turned the light back on.
[01:18.54]Because in one brief moment
[01:20.56]my brain came up with this question:
[01:23.52]"If it was a dream how come he
[01:25.39]and the rest of the room was out of focus?"
[01:28.83]It was true, I'm severely² nearsighted
[01:32.25]with and astigmatism³ to boot.
[01:36.15]I can't see more then eight inches past my face clearly,
[01:40.14]yet when I dream everything is as good as 20/20.
[01:45.12]When I had woken up the ceiling, walls,
[01:48.45]the stranger was all blurry⁴!
[01:51.11]I didn't have my glasses on;
[01:53.52]I wasn't asleep so I couldn't see him clearly.
[01:57.36]He was wearing dark clothes
[02:00.26]yet I couldn't tell if it was a jacket or shirt.
[02:04.19]He was pale and that was my best description
[02:07.32]because quite frankly⁵ I couldn't tell
[02:10.79]if he was bald or just fair headed.
[02:14.64]And his eyes were just two fuzzy black blobs in his face.
[02:19.58]I was freaked,
[02:21.38]but interestingly enough I calmed down within 20 minutes,
[02:25.99]mainly because I realized that I sensed
[02:29.11]that whoever that was didn't mean any harm,
[02:33.37]in fact there was an odd feeling that he was sorry.
