My skin crawls. I can feel someone watching me. I look up and around, wanting to find out who and why. Dark, glittering eyes, almost black, are staring at me with an intensity I cannot fathom. I smile tentatively, hoping to break the glare. It doesn't work. The glare intensifies. She pushes past me, muttering.
**This actually happened at work today and really freaked me out. I'm still bemused by it. **

Nice 55!!
Hi, thisisme: I just linked over here from the 55 Flash blog. Reading your posts. Nice to meet you! I'm also a Capricorn, but a little bit older than you are! Sounds like your life is taking some interesting turns. Sounds brave. Good for you!

Ew, how creepy! That's enough to make our skin crawl, too. *shudder*
Great description of an eerie feeling...~~shiver~~
Hope all is well with you.
Have a good day!
How did your public speeking thing go ?
