Is there something special about 3:33AM /x/? If I stay up until 3AM, I physically cannot fall asleep unless there's other people around as if my body is possessed by an instinctual fear. It reaches its peak around 3:33 and fades by 3:55ish. Today I heard the rustling of something in my room at about 3:30AM, and shined my shotgun flashlight on it thinking it was maybe my cat or a mouse. Peculiarly enough, the shine clearly kicked in, but there was a large amorphous blob that seemed to "suck in" the surrounding light for all of half a second before the light shined through it. Damn near shot it in surprise but held myself back. Right afterwards my cat went apeshit and jumped on top of me/began to whine/purr more than usual.
3:42 and heard creaking metal from the main room. Not worth checking out but my brain's on high alert/cradling the shotgun.
