I--I hardly know, sir, just at present-- at least I know who I WAS when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then. |

We have these lamps in our living room. They're a normal lamp, with the top lamp part, but there's a cut out design in the base, which has a light inside it as well.... With the ablilty to have only that light lit. It's like a jack-o-lantern.
The first time I left just that light on, it filled the room with an eerie glow. I since that moment never left just that light on. Well, tonight... for some reason, while turning off the lamp, I made it so that that light was the only one on. .. And being too lazy to fix it... I left it alone, and went into the family room to watch The X-Files.
After it was all over, I shut off all the lights in the downstairs, and proceeded into the livingroom (Which holds the only access to stairs to the upstairs).... I glanced over in the direction of the lamp....Which was turned slightly to the side... It's shape was unfamiliar... and startled me... forcing me to walk straight into the closet door that was left open in the dark room, and then tripping over the computer chair, knocking me into the glass coffee table, where a large candle holder decided to impale my abdomen....
I have decided to get rid of the lamps. I don't care that we spent $300 on them. As of dawn, (The next time I'll feel comfortable going back downstairs, since that creepy light is still on) they're gone.
