...f empty (or half full?) glass of milk. I frown. A sound emanates from the bathroom behind me in my aparment, like someone brushing their teeth for just a moment and then the bathroom door slams shut from down the hall. I am hardly surprised at this point but thoroughly unnerved. It is then that I remember I left the milk in the bathroom when I left earlier that night.

I head for the bathroom. The light is on and I can see shadows moving under the door. People are whispering on the other side, they sound like children.

"Who's there?" I call out, my voice loud but there is an audible waver in it. As the words leave my lips the sounds inside the bathroom cease and the shadows freeze for a moment before retreating away from the door, I imagine towards the bathtub. I reach for the bathroom door, my hand clammy, and turn the knob. As I fling the door wide the bathroom light bursts with a startling pop, plunging the room into darkness.

Can this night get any stranger?

Retreat and call the police, there is an intruder in my home!

Uh oh. No one's written this branch yet. :o
