In the middle of a cold winter night, I suddenly woke up after I heard a scream and dragging sound from upstairs. I lived in a shared 2-story-house. So, I basically heard everything my neighbor did, but this noise was different this time. It was like someone was dragging something on the wooden floor-something very heavy. I was worried about what happened upstairs but got no gut to take action. So, I waited for 5 minutes to see whether there would be any more movement or noise. There was none! Then I went back to sleep.
The next morning I saw my neighbor sitting on the front porch. I gathered up my courage and asked him what happened last night. He simply said "Oh! There was a rat in my soom so I screamed and killed it". I doubted that was true.
