As I walked away from the old lady I heard a whooshing sound and looked round. Some fog was drifting away on the wind but then I noticed the old lady had vanished. As I let myself in I heard Holly (our dog) scratching on the door. After I'd had a beer I heard a soft humming noise, but after I got up and took a few steps it stopped. I sat back down to enjoy a beer watching the premiership. At about ten o'clock I went to bed very tired indeed. I woke to the humming noise again. I picked up my baseball bat stick and followed the noise until I got to the spare room, it was I the laundry basket. I raised my bat high and opened the basket.
It was loud,
It was underneath the clothes,
It was hairy,
It was Tonks the cat.
I sighed and muttered "waste of time", I went back to bed and hoped to get to sleep.
I slept well and next day got up and went to work, but I heard another whooshing sound different from the first, then one the same, and some fog was drifting off down the street. I then saw what the different sound was - my air bag was blowing up. "Bother I'll take the bus instead" I said sighing heavily. On the way to work my thoughts rested on what had been making life difficult. Suddenly the bus stopped knocking several people from their feet, there was a mass of whisper and then people realised the button at the back of the bus had been pressed. I then rang work to say that I was going to be late, but they said work was being cancelled. I went home and then the phone rang, it was work saying that I was fired because I didn't turn up for the presentation which would make our company worth 1 BILLION POUNDS.
I went home a broken man and just fell into nightmares on the big old armchair. I awoke with a jump and saw it just before it hit me - a whole window ledge full of dust flew at me causing me to spend the next few minutes coughing. Then I heard a cackle and a bang and saw the drifting fog again. All day the fog had haunted me and now I realised that it was the fog that had been behind all the strange things that had happened to me!
