Creepy Things That Have Happened to You

Well, it was only creepy for about 2 minutes until I pretty much figured it out but I'm going to tell the story anyway.

Early this morning at 1:33am, I was awakened by a strange sound. It came regularly but in irregular patterns and was loud enough to hear but it took me a couple of minutes to ascertain exactly what square it was coming from.

I turned on the light and found the square. I have panel ceilings and, while I understand why they can be useful, I hate them. I was NOT about to move that panel and have who knows what drop down on or right next to my bed.

My bed!

So, the sound I heard was a critter with a case of the dropsies.....a LOT of dropsies. An hour's worth before it got quiet again. It sounded like something about the size and texture of a watermelon seed being picked up and dropped. Over and over and over again. Sometimes it was pushed around a bit too. It traveled over a couple of panels but kept coming back to one right next to my bed.

I didn't hear any scurrying but it could have been a small field mouse or a bug of some kind. Maybe it was a bug that was in death throws and finally died or maybe the critter finally got the seed off of the back of the panel.

I was glad for that because the panel it was happening on is not 100% flush. I didn't want anything coming down on or at me from that tiny sliver of space.
