(Scene from Exorcist)
I woke up at 3am, startled because my bed was shaking! I just watched Exorcist yesterday and I thought I only had a super-active imagination when I felt my night comfort shake underneath. Then I heard this rattling sound, like grains in a shaker cup. I lied there half-awake, in the cold dew of the morning, staring up at the white ceiling of my personal space which is known to my family as MY LIL ROOM, trying to discern what’s happening and if I’m about to enter the twilight zone. Surprisingly, I was as calm as the dead leaves in fall. After a couple of minutes, the shaking finally subsided. Still fazed from the incident, I still didn’t know whether it was just a human condition or a fact that I experienced. It was when I got to the office that I realized that it was indeed an earthquake because everyone was talking about it. I figured out later that the rattling came form the box of Nerds [candies] I had on top of my computer desk. Oh man!
