I hate it when this happens.
It’s after midnight and well below freezing. A couple inches of fresh snow has fallen since this afternoon, and more is on the way. Something, however, just ran back and forth across the roof near the skylight. I want to say “galloped” across, because that’s what it sounded like.
Maybe it was an arboreal deer. For all I know, it was the devil himself: there was a strange smell in the kitchen afterwards, rather like strong chlorine or a whiff of sulphur. Or maybe I just left the gas on.
No, I am not going outside to climb the ladder in the snow and shine a spotlight on the roof.
I am going to take a long hot bath!
