You Got Red On You
I almost had heart failure about 10 minutes ago. I had been laying in bed watching a movie and when it was over, I got up to take it out of the player. Something out the window caught my eye so I turned my head to see what it was only to find I was being stared at.
I live on the second floor of the building. There's no ground to stand on just outside my window; I shouldn't be seeing a body when looking straight out of it yet there I was, staring into the eyes of a peeping tom.
I started, my heart went straight into my throat and I lost the ability to breathe. I recovered myself, leaped to my desk to grab my camera and snapped a shot of the culprit.
Here he is:
That little bastard scared the shit out of me. He didn't seem to be in any hurry to move either. When I first saw him he was directly outside my window, sitting on that large cable you see. This photo was my second attempt as the previous one I took with the window closed and it turned out terribly. As I opened the window he turned around and walked about two feet before stopping and turning around to stare at me some more. Honestly? I think he was enjoying the movie with me. He should have spoken up, maybe I would have shared my popcorn with him.
And for those who will ask what movie I was watching: Shaun of the Dead
