Moon Boots and the Twist

Okay, so I have decided that strange things may only happen to me AT NIGHT.

Last night I was sleeping at about 2am. It was a nice night, so I had the windows open, but my sound machine (ocean waves if you must know) was turned up high.

I was having this dream- and in my dream, a man was standing on my kitchen floor in moon boots doing the twist (so now you know exactly what it sounded like). Then I woke up and realized IT'S HAPPENING... SOMEONE IS IN MY KITCHEN IN MOON BOOTS DOING THE TWIST! My heart was beating so fast I could hardly breathe or walk, but I then realized that mercifully the sound was coming from the alley outside.

So what do I do? I go in search of the sound. I realized that someone was trying to push in one of the air conditioners to get inside one of the lower-floor apartments. So I stood on the outer edge of my balcony in order to see better down the alley and realized it was my neighbor who lived in that apartment.

So I yelled down, "Do you need to get in the building?" He said, "I'm locked out of the building AND my apartment." I said, "Good luck with that." And he tried a few more times. I'm not sure if he got in or not, but I think he got the message that he was being loud.

I was so scared it took me almost an hour before I could fall asleep. My heart was beating so fast it was vaulting me off the bed.

And my most frightening thought before I drifted off to weird dreamland?

I sure hope I didn't let that bat back in when I went out on the balcony!!!

Ask Kori about her "spring" loaded moonboots that she had when she was little. Oh and I'm evil kinda and wish the bat had come back in, it would have made for another funny story!
