SOMETHING ON THE CEILING

avatar
(Edited)

It happened last summer, on one of the first days in August. The night was too hot for sleeping, and I was too tired to do anything else but sleep. That's why I found myself in some place between dream and reality, sometime after midnight.

(Enlargeable)

Quite unexpectedly, a hole appeared right in the middle of the ceiling in my room. It was a neat, fairly small hole, about twenty centimeters wide. As far as I could see, there was only an immense, and very dense, resin-like darkness on the other side, not the room on the upper floor, a room eerily similar to the one I was in.
Soon, two slender tentacles made their way from the darkness into my room. They were weird, probably of alien origin in a Lovecraftian sense of the extraterrestrial, but strangely non-threatening for such an odd, mysterious thing.
I couldn't tell the size or shape of the thing those tentacles belonged to, but it was clear that it was able to produce or channel the most beautiful music I had ever heard.
It sounded a bit like what whales are singing, but sprinkled with electronic sounds and audible sparks resembling the most creative instrumental noodlings from the prog-rock classic golden years.
I still don't know whether it was a very talented organism or some advanced organic machinery producing the long cosmic song.
I tried to photograph the thing, but due to its nonmaterial or interdimensional nature, the camera captured only the white ceiling and a few cobweb threads.
The only way to illustrate this post was to draw a simple litlle illustration that shows the tentacles sprouting from the ceiling.

AND THAT'S IT. AS ALWAYS HERE ON HIVE, THE PHOTOGRAPH AND A FEW SIMPLE DRAWINGS TURNED INTO AN ANIMATED GIF ARE MY WORK.

Might have been an alien! Or...you were on some very powerful hallucinogen. Anyway, if you couldn't manage to get a shot of it, you should have tried to record some of its beautiful sounds. That supposedly didn't occur to you at the time. And it might not visit again.

🙂 True, I should have tried to record a video. Maybe the visual part still wouldn't be there, but the sound might have been recorded! Great idea ... if the phenomenon occurs again.

What a fun and creative story. The illustrations really brought everything to life, and that dreamlike vibe was so captivating.If we saw a hole like this in our ceiling, we wouldn’t get any sleep all night, just wondering what to do. And the expenses, this and that what a hassle.

🙂 The same for me too ... if the hole were real, the night being hot would have been the least of my problems.

Sometimes it actually happens like that. We will notice something's on the ceiling that originally we might not notice. I will have love if the camera capture it

😄 Maybe is time to amplify the dosage to see how the story continues ... what's on the other side. 🎆🎃

Even you are unable to take a shot, but you got a nice gif there.
