    Buggin' Out

    From Redditor u/BuddyTube:

    I screamed, ran out of my room, and yelled, "Dad, I saw a huge spider, can you come kill it?"

    I hoped the man standing in my closet didn't notice that I saw him, or realize the fact that I was actually home alone.

    Confused, I reminded her that my brother didn't survive, but then I heard his voice saying, "You can see him, too?"

    Posted by u/In_the_end_there_was:

    "This is taking forever - just pick one already!" my husband griped, tapping his foot impatiently.

    Night Watch

    From Redditor u/amnSor:

    As I watch her roll peacefully over in her sleep, I smile and think how lucky I am to know what true love feels like.

    It may look like an accident to others, but I know she leaves that tiny crack in the blinds of her window just for me.
