You don't like that. Ultimately, even if you left the bathroom door unblocked, all that would leave for you to escape into is either the same hallway something is trying to get in from, or the room with all the crying. Neither of those sound like terribly good options as of now, so you'll just... seal both of them off. The window is always available if you truly need to make an exit.
With that decided you pile up a wide variety of boxes and furniture up against the doors in the aim of keeping everything else the fuck out of your room. During the process you hear some more knocking, and some more sobbing, but you ignore both in pursuit of constructing a giant wall of things. Doing so at any level of quietness takes quite some time but eventually you do finish. You owe much to the many boxes left in your room, and to the fact that your closet doors are the sliding kind that can be easily removed from the wall. In the construction process you did still make some noise, but, well, it's nothing that should've traveled to the front door and whatever is in your uncle's bedroom is still just sobbing aimlessly. No harm, no foul?
As you sit down in your now rather barren room, sans massive pile of things, you have time to think and... well, not quite relax, but untense your nerves slightly. With a sigh you sit down in the corner of the room and reach into your backpack to let Madness and Folly out for a moment, whilst at the same time keeping a very close eye to make sure they don't treat your barricade as some sort of playset.
You glance at the device. 7:00:04 left. 3, 2, 1...
BANG BANG BANG. "HOOoooOOONEEEEEY, I'M HOOMEE" in the same horrid imitation of a female voice as before. If you're hearing things correctly, it sounds as if the creature outside has moved onto banging on the windows to see if anyone's home. Maybe if you're lucky it'll just do that for the rest of the night, but, well, if tonight is anything to go by you aren't lucky. You guess you'll just have to wait and see what they do.
>Time for RC Cola and a sandwich- the breakfast of champions. Some food and time spent half-resting could do you a bit of good.>There's so many oddities that it's all difficult to even process. You should go think through every odd thing you've encountered so far and try to see if you can figure out anything from it- about what's going on or why... if that's even possible.>Now that you're going through this you have to face the fact that this has always been part of reality that you've always been ignorant to. That begs a question: Are you ignorant because you've never been encountered with it, or because you've turned your eyes away from it? You'll need to think about it.>Write-in
