Remember the X-Files episode "Squeeze?"
The one with the liver-eating guy who could squeeze into your house through the vents?
This morning while I was in the shower, a movement caught my eye. I glanced at the windowsill, no more than three inches from my shoulder.
A TENTACLE was squeezing through the tiny crack between the closed window and the wall. A boneless red thing with a hideous blind snout, pulsating and writhing and pushing itself through.
At first I thought it was a centipede, but as I stood, frozen in horror, watching it invade my home, I saw that it was an earthworm. (More than four feet up from the ground!) When the whole thing emerged, I swept it into a box and dumped it in the garden.
I got dressed first.
