Alien In The Wall
By pantfiction
Ok first, I am a pure skeptic and rationalist. By no explanation, I mean I have no explanation. Nor will I attempt one.
A few years back I and a friend of mine (we called him Tacklebox) went over to another friend's house (J-bot). The living room is on the second floor and the ceiling is made of a very weak particle board-like substance, flaky and painted white. On one of these ceiling tiles, there was a scrape that ended with a large hole. It sat just over where J-bot had placed his T.V.
So, the three of us are hanging out, watching a really bad b-rate film about giant insects on the SyFy channel, when Tacklebox glances up and says ,"yo, is that spider in that hole?"
J-bot and I look at him and start laughing. His obvious attempt at scaring us because we were a little high and watching the film we were watching was a complete failure.
"No, guys I'm serious, " he says, but there's some gravity behind his voice and expression.
So, J-bot and I, sitting on the floor, stare deep into the hole, looking for something resembling a spider. The hole was probably large enough to put two fist through and I was staring at what may have been loosely hanging fabric, draped lightly around the inside of it.
Then, suddenly, what manifested due to its movement, was something resembling fingers, crooked, bent and jointed that scurried backward into the hole.
Panicking, we found ourselves on the other side of the living room frantic for an explanation. What we saw was not a spider, and even if it was, it was larger than even a tarantula.
We weren't sure what to do, so we slowly approached the hole, on foot, and I took cover behind the love seat, peaking up over the back support. That's when I saw the craziest thing.
It stuck something out through the whole. It was a light brown and gray with lighter gray spots, but it resembled a periscope, but rounded and stubbier, spinning around, scanning the area.
My imagination struggled with what I was seeing. My brain just couldn't come up with any explanations. I actually began to accept the fact that it was extraterrestrial, because I had nothing else.
Then we grabbed a piece of cardboard and some courage, rushed to the hole, placed the cardboard over, taped it down and then re-taped it for good measure. Then we named the ceiling-beast Lawrence.
That cardboard stayed up there for years, with warnings all over it. If anyone so much as pretended to take it down, anyone present for the initial incident would dart from the room and down the stairs.
