Peeping

Photobucket


I looked out the peephole in my door today, which I find to be a very creepy thing - I try not to use it. My neighbor's door was wide open. She and a man swayed arm in arm. I walked back to the couch and placed my hands in my lap, thoughtfully considering the couple in the tiny tunnel with their arms wrapped around each other.

Then suddenly "OW" and "PICK IT UP" and the door roared shut. How do I describe the sound? It was like. "I'M FUCKIN' SERIOUS." She isn't nasal; it's piercing and flat at the same time. While they're tearing at one another and storming in the hall - and she is pissed off, her voice is a cat with its hair raised - I'm on my couch, wondering if anyone's parents dance together anymore.
