12:21 pm: I am awoken to the massively loud sound of insect wings, because there happens to be a massively loud insect in my room. How he arrived there, I could not say. I catch him and show him to my friend and then my sister. Friend and I have no idea what kind of bug he was (very handsome, large black beetle thing that looked a bit like a stink bug) while my sister just shrieked and punched me away screaming “THAT IS SO GROSS IM ABOUT TO EAT YOU -unfriendly word-!”
12:57 pm: I sit in the backyard painting for 3 hours. I can hear something very large moving in the woods behind me, and my dog will not step foot outside. Because I am a foole, I ignore.
4:38 pm: there’s a gotdam vulture on my shed.
5:22 pm: oh good lord there are two cranes in the driveway
6ish: I take my dog for a walk, and what the hell do I find? A lil baby mouse, on the sidewalk, likely abandoned because of some defect. Call friend (farmboy) to ask what the best possibly course of action is. He is so very unhelpful. I decided since it’s dying, taking it home would freak it out and delay the inevitable. I opt to lay in under a nearby bush, so that it won’t die at the hands of somebody else’s dog, be stomped upon, or cook to death in the sun.
7:17 pm: I become an aunt. My sister-in-law had her first babe. Not weird, just notable.
7:49 pm: house loses power. No thunderstorms, just out. And back on 4 hours later
11:08 pm: biggest moth I’ve ever seen lands on my head and hangs out for a while. 10/10 good experience
11:48 pm (right now): banana just fell off the counter by itself. Didn’t touch it, didn’t place it precariously, it just flew.
I live in a closely stitched neighborhood, but my house has 2 acres of woods behind it. I’m already pretty sure my house is haunted, the wildlife has never given us this much trouble before (except the turkeys but they didn’t show today) I know all the exact times because I have a weird relationship with clocks, and I’ve been on google for the last 15 minutes trying to figure out what kinda weird bug that was.
Is this an omen
Edit: immediately after posting this, someone screamed.

Sorry that scream was just me. Screaming has a stress relieving quality to it.

You left it there to suffer until it died.

Edited by Warlock Holmes: 6/3/2021 2:20:31 PMStrange and fascinating at the same time. Why can’t something weird and interesting ever happen to me? Urban legends and Arcane lore are always my favorite and a wizard quest for strange knowledge is always boundless. Yet, everything here is boringly ordinary. Besides the strange nerd wearing the surprisingly comfortable wizards hat and the other nerd dressed as a knight that accompanies him. As for you case, I have no clue what kind of bug that is. I have seen plenty of stink bugs in my time but none ever as large as you described. How large exactly was it? The power outage just could have been someone messing with the electrical grid or something. I don’t know, I’m no electrician. Also, how did a vulture manage to get into your shed? And who screamed?

Sounds pretty weird, maybe it is haunted, or anomalous...
