This was a pretty good pasta. It grounds itself in reality, for the most part, had some good build-up, and it utilizes the "investigating that noise" cliche very well, something most mainstream horror works fail to pull off.

One thing I found brilliant with in this story was the old man. At first you expected him to simply be some ol' coot, but as the story progresses, there is more than meets the eye. At first, you simply think that he's just some crazy old person. Later on, you find it highly trite and illogical that he suddenly has better sleep. However, once you ponder over it for a moment, the Fridge Horror sets in once the reader forms their inerpretation of the ending.

The only gripe I had was that they did not attempt to treat the old man at the hospital with therapy before medicine (You need a psychiatrist to prescribe medicine for mental disorders. Regular old doctors can't do that shit).
