The Morning Star Mystery

I am a light sleeper. I could sleep late and wake up early. I could hear things while sleeping; I could mutter indiscernible expressions, curse and recite some ancient, long lost dialogues. Mom told me I’m a gifted contortionist too.
Ever had those nagging feeling that you are not alone? A realization hit me during one of my peaceful slumbers that someone’s here. I could not know if it was human or not. Maybe it was an angel or some stray spirit wandering around? Maybe it was a succubus, who’ll make love to me and show me the great pleasures a man can experience! Yess!
I opened my eyes and was a lil bit shocked and disappointed to see Ej’s face scrutinizing me.
“G-good morning!” I managed to sound bright and cheerful, realizing it was only my big buddy.
Last night I went to his house for a group study. Ej and I and Ivy. Threesome! Unfortunately Ivy had another engagement. So that left moi and Hush with nothing to do but play Rohan when our thoughts went sluggish brooding over our Distributive Systems project. At 4 AM I plopped down to sleep.
Ej was quiet, regarding me with wonder (I think). I am very conscious about my looks especially after being idle in bed for hours without a hair check. So I announced that I would like to have a private moment for myself and could he please leave the room?
He left. And I dashed to the nearest mirror checking my reflection. Small, tired eyes. Ruffled hair. Pale. Hungry. I took a closer look on the mirror, checking my eyes. They looked kinda funny being small, seems like I was still sleeping though I was now fully awake.
And I gasped.
May muta ko. Sh*t.
What happened?!
Maybe I cried? Possibly. Only tears could make this happen.
Another question: why?
Maybe because I was possessed by that poor soul I was talking about? Maybe it wanted revenge or it was just upset for the injustice of not having another chance to live? Maybe I was possessed by a drama queen from TV?! Nah, I am pretty strong to be a host for spirits.
Maybe because the succubus raped me and I did not like it? I checked my underwear looking for dry smudges of..you know. No traces.
Uhmmm..maybe it rained last night and this was just a mild dew.
Aaarrggg!
I gave up. I could only conclude that I cried. Which is not a big deal since we got all these projects and exams and OJT stuffs. Must have been too heavy for my subconscious to bear. Aw.
Hmmm..I couldn’t let go of that thought. It is really humiliating, but if I cried what more embarrassing acts did I do while I was sleeping? Pick my nose, sleepwalk or – I can’t bear this – snore?
Frankly, I do not have any answers. I think I’ll go and ask Ej.Labels: bouncy, fantasy, jumpy, ken chua, lifestyle, sci-fi, what if
