The X-Files... in my own home? The other day, as I was working on the computer, my dad out to me "Hey, what's with the water in your room?!" So I walk over to my study room and I see a big puddle on the carpet by my bag, spanning 5 feet in diameter. Where did this water come from? I checked the water bottles in my bag, and they were fairly dry and well-tightened. The inside of my bag was only moist, probably from soaking in water on the floor. But what was odd is that I had water ON the cover of my bag, which was flipped open. So where could this water have come from? My mom and dad used our dishwasher for the first time in YEARS... perhaps a cracked pipe? But there was a little puddle on top of a small magazine holder that stood on metal legs about 2 cms off the ground. My jeans, which were drapped over a chair, but not touching the ground, were damp too... as was my jacket hanging off the back of the chair.

So here's my theory. A human-shaped entity made up of water, slipped through the crack in my garage and into my house. It got as far as my study, before it heard noises from upstairs -- most likely from my parents who were cleaning the house. In a desperate attempt to avoid being seen, it jumped into my study room. Unfortunately, it didn't realize the texture change in the flooring (from a vinyl floor to carpet) and splashed on impact, leaving a wet mess in the middle of my floor with no traces around a fairly uniform area.

That bastard.
