In the basement with loose cats. The three semi-ferals will not allow themselves to be grabbed.
I was awakened early this morning by a boom and the house shaking. I thought something had exploded, but no, the neighbor's dying tree had lost a massive piece in the storm and took out the power. This is the second time my parents have had to replace the electrical box on the outside of the house
I've been outside for about an hour and I have four mosquito bites. This year is going to suck.
It's 3 am. I hear someone dragging something across the patio. Consider a raccoon but decide I'm not confronting a burglar. From the upstairs window I can't really see anything, but it doesn't seem big or competent enough to be human. I go back down and get the flashlight by the back door.
