Shiver

A shiver ran down my spine. I looked around carefully for some reason for the solitary shiver, but nothing seemed out of place to me. My lava lamp was running in one corner, little blobs floating up and down. My gaming chair was under me as usual. Nothing seemed off with my futon, and my closet is tightly shut. No movement from my curtains and my window couldn't be opened even if I wanted it to. It has been painted shut for years.   Myth says that someone has walked over my grave, or at least the place my grave will be. Given that there are currently 7.8 billion people on the planet if that were the cause you would think that I would be constantly shivering. I do like the idea though. Not the idea of death so much, though that doesn't scare me, as the idea of the energetic connection between us and the earth, and I suppose each other. I'm not big into people though. As a concept I like the idea. Sometimes people act in this way that just gives you so much hope for us as a species, and then there's the rest of the time when they are selfish and pretty destructive to both each other and everything around them.   So yeah, nothing around to give me shivers, not suddent temperature changes so it's not likely to be a ghost or anything supernatural like that. I've never seen a ghost nor lived where I was likely to see one, but you can always hope, right? I also don't think that ghosts are inherently evil or anything. If they exist they are the energy that made up an individual, and I think they hang around because they still had something to do, you know? Maybe saying goodbye to someone, or wanting to tell the story of their death, or apologize something they felt guilty about, or whatever. No ghosts.   My mind wandered back to my game. It was a fun one where you get to play as a cute little critter that you can customize and go on adventures and solve puzzles. I'm not into the battle scene. I don't think I could kill someone IRL so I don't want to pretend to do that either. I do sometime go for RPGs with light turn based combat because I would love to use a sword or bow, but yeah...don't think I could really hurt anything like that unless I had a damn good reason.   Another shiver. This time I really felt as though something was trying to...connect...with me. I don't have the standard for communicaiton, a Ouiju board. How else could I make myself more open to communication?   To be continued...

I generally recommend AGAINST ever touching a Ouiju board. Simply because you have no idea if the thing you're talking to is good or evil. If its evil, it could cause problems.

Agreed.
