What is Actually Inside a Camel's Hump

16-bit spector

The window in my room is open and the wind is making this really creepy howling noise with the flat mirror that's propped up against it. Sorry about that last post if it threw you off. I actually wrote it at 2:30 AM THIS morning but I it was in my "Friday's" consciousness so I posted it for yesterday. Yeah...I just felt like making some crazy junk up. There it be.

Speaking of creepy things let me tell you about what happened after I posted early this morning in the AM. I got HAUNTED. My roommate was off, of course, forgetting himself as always and I was alone in the room. His computer started making all of these strange clicking noises that I had never noticed before. It was annoying but it made me think, "What if the screen came on and had words on it talking to me?" I brushed the thought aside and rolled over.
Then a few minutes later the printer started up, just switching all of it's gears around. I freaked just a little I pulled the paper out (so as to keep the eletro-ghost from printing me a message of course) and returned to my bed. Shortly after I rolled over to face the wall next to my bed I heard the unmistakable sound of a monitor turning on. "This can't be happening" I thought. I didn't want to open my eyes but it was just one of those situations where I had to.
I opened them and there was the blue-white light of the monitor flooded across the wall I was facing. With all the courage I could muster I rolled out of bed, trying to avert my eyes from whatever cryptic message could have been on the screen and pushed the power button on the front of the computer. Before I pressed it I couldn't help but notice that the "Windows Start Up" was what was on the screen.
After pressing it the screen went black but the clicking in the computer persisted. Then the screen came on again...I kept pressing the button. At this point I was frantically pressing the button and the thought running though my head again and again was, "Dear Lord, Windows, please please please don't start up!" In a final act of desperation I located the surge protector and flipped it off.
Silence....Darkness...Sweet silence and darkness...
I unplugged the computer just to make sure and flicked the surge protector back on. Soon afterwards my roommate retuned and just as I was about to drift off The refrigerator started making a loud hum. I unplugged it...plugged it in....fine for a while ..back in bed...HUM....REPEAT.....The humming wouldn't stop. To top it off I swear there was the distant thudding of techno music all around. I don't know if I'm just making this up in my head...but it seems to me last night was the night of the haunted appliances!
