Once upon a time I saw a shadow race by out of the corner of my eye. Things were never quite the same after that.
My cat began to sit, at first, in front of a wall and stare at it. Later, he did the same in front of the sofa (I was really beginning to question his sanity). More and more I began to see this shadowy figure race by always barely within my periphery. I would sometimes hear sounds, as if a distant train were rumbling by, but when I would grow quiet to hear better, nothing.
To make a long story short, it ended up being a rat which got trapped in the attic when I cleaned out the bird's nests and replaced the wire on the gable vents. However, it was quite eerie for awhile. Those flashes seemed quite a bit larger than the rat it turned out to be. Looking back, I should have figured it out sooner by the Hershey's Kisses which kept turning up missing.
