This morning around 7 a.m. I came downstairs to hear snoring. I thought nothing of it because my parents went out yesterday with my cousin, and I thought they’d let him stay over so he wouldn’t have to drive.

I go to school, come back home around 10 a.m., meanwhile there’s daylight but he’s lying on the sofa in the front room, so because of him I haven’t yet opened the rolling shutter.

Ten minutes ago, he gets up, walks past me without initially seeing me. In the light I see that he’s definitely not my cousin and in fact not someone I have ever seen. He sees me, tells me I scared him and he could stay here, goes to the toilet, returns to the sofa and back to sleep.

Right now, my dog is crawling over him trying to find a good spot to sleep.

This is so surreal.
