Live In A Bad Country

While the shitshow is going down I'm gonna flex my haunted ass house with a few stories.

No.1 The garage incident.
I was about 7 ish and my brother was about 4 or 5, how are morning routines usually work is we would get up, get dressed, eat, and get in the car for early-care (basically babysitting for kids who got to school early) so it was about 6AM and winter time and we were waiting in the car when all of a sudden the garage door opens. It pauses and then goes back down again, it goes up and down for seemingly an eternity until it suddenly stops. We tell our mom and she says it must be an incident with the sensors so she goes to check out the history. Instead of seeing a malfunction she saw the garage button being pushed numerous times. There was no one there.


No.2 The knocking
I was up late studying for midterms one night, it was completely quiet and I assumed everyone was asleep. As I was working I hear a knock on my door, assuming it was my parents I open the door, nobody. So I think "Whatever, I was probably hearing things." and I go back to studying, fifteen minutes later I hear another knock. I get up, open the door and, no one. So at this point I'm like "What the fuck :D" so I just put on my headphones and continue to work. A third knock. This time a mf doesn't answer and I go to bed. No more knocking.

No.3 The door
So, I was leaving a room, and as in mandatory in my household I close the door behind me. I don't think much of it until I realise I left something in that room, I turn around and well, it's open. I probably didn't shut it hard enough so I go back and get my thing before closing the door again and walk away. A few moments later I go down the hall and guess what? The door is open again. At this point I'm annoyed and I sarcastically say "Fine, you can close it." as I walk away, I hear the signature creak of my door closing, I turn around and it's closed.

About the "National Day" thing: The issue is not whether it is real or not. It is the fact that in this day and time, in already 2021, a small group of men are allowed set out a date to terrorize women all over the nation without consequences. Even if it's probably not real, the news spread so far that men whom would be unaware of this "joke" are going to feel validated enough to commit a crime. Regardless of this fake holiday, women are going to be sexual assaulted tomorrow, because women are sexual assaulted every day. Every. Single. Day. Every 73 seconds, to be more exact.

This incident spread more awareness about the risks of sexual assault than any other recent campaign. Please allow women AND men to learn how to defend themselves against rape and harassment. In this world we live in it's important to know how to protect yourself, whether on April 24th or some other day, if not from rape, maybe domestic violence. There's no harm in learning, and even if the world doesn't burn down tomorrow, at least we have a skill for a future emergency.
