Being superstitious was generally a substantial waste of time. Believing in things that didn't exist just forces you to spend energy that you should be spending worrying about the very real things that were coming for you. Why be afraid of aliens when you should be worried about taxes. Why shudder at the thought of ghosts when you should be shuddering at the sudden realization that you forgot to buy eggs. Why wonder about the existence of strange creatures in the woods when you should really be concerned about the existence of strange creatures in the fur of strange dogs. Fleas were horrible. Now that was something to be scared of.
Lily felt like she was a pretty practical person. She stepped out of the shower, staring at herself in the mirror while she dried off; taking inventory of her efforts. Her lightly tanned skin was clear, she spent enough on facial soap to keep it that way. She'd managed to clean off all of the makeup she used to make her brown eyes vaguely more interesting. Her hair was nearly black when wet, it was only a matter of time before it resumed its life work as a dark brown wavy mess. Clean, and a good enough slate for tomorrow's make up. She smiled, throwing on a loose pair of shorts and a tank top. Fancy nightwear was a waste of time and money.
Her room was dark. And there was that noise, as always. Almost a, bubbling, or a shuffling. Or some combination of the two. Most likely it was just her pipes. Water made all sorts of strange noises for the smallest reason. And since her pipes weren't bursting and her water bill wasn't a real world horror show, it was fine. She dropped onto her bed, shuffling a thin blanket over herself. One of her friends had been convinced she heard growls the last time she was here. How silly. The admission still floated in Lily's mind. Her friend had clearly just been hearing the water, but, it was sticking with her. She sighed, rolling onto her side. Now she was being silly.
