such a commotion!

Tweet

Last night, I couldn't sleep at all, so I was up until about 4am. Finally got into bed and drifted off. Next thing I knew, I heard screaming and banging. I assumed the sounds were coming from outside, since my bedroom is on the front side of the building where cars drive in and drop people off/pick people up, and people sometimes gather. But as the sleep pushed away, I realized the sounds were much closer, and I saw my cat racing around in anxiety. When I got up, I heard the screaming and banging right outside my apartment door, in the hallway. On my wing of this floor, there are about 8 apartments, so the woman I heard yelling could have been from one of 3 apartments where young women live. I didn't open my door nor did I look out my peephole. I really didn't want to get that close. I thought about calling the police, but I heard a voice out there that sounded somewhat official and not long after I heard a door slam and everything has been quiet since. I hope everyone is okay. I haven't witnessed anything like that since I've been living here, but I'm not surprised in a building of this size. Things happen. I'm always careful to smile at everyone and wish them a great day. You hear so many stories on the news that you just never know who might have a gun and be very willing to use it, even over a cross look. I have to say that I really am enjoying the quiet! -Claudia-
