heroine of a gothic novel (me) in a long diaphanous nightgown (oversized boygenius t-shirt and no pants) holds her candlestick (3 year old iphone that gets concerningly hot when the flashlight is on) aloft to light the shadowy corridors of a sprawling manor house (modest 2 bedroom apartment) in search of the source of a mysterious, dreadful warbling noise that pierces the night (dog’s water bowl fountain clogged with kibble)
