Member-only story
My Roommate has been Showering for Over 6 Hours.
I got home around 11 PM. Late at work one night turned into late at the bar the next. It's been about four drinks, and I'm pretty tired. As I stumble through the doorway, I'm almost ready to fall asleep. I lay down on the couch, grab a joint from my bag, and light one up while I watch YouTube on my laptop.
It's almost time for me to fall asleep while watching a luxury ship tour when I hear the front door open. I raise my head a little and just in time to see my roommate walk in. He walks slowly to his room after hanging his coat up in the closet. He doesn't say anything. That's fine, though. I had lived with him for three months, which was long enough for me to notice most of his habits.
The guy doesn't talk much unless he's asked to, which didn't bother me at all. Besides that, he kept things clean on his end and never caused many problems. I had no reason to complain.
After about five minutes, I hear the shower in his room start up. I then go back to watching YouTube. Again, nothing out of the ordinary. I'm watching clips of bare-knuckle fighting with my eyes half open right now. I'm probably about to pass out in the next minute or two.
I remember waking up in the dark with a sore throat and a hurting head. I slowly sat up, waiting for my grogginess to get better so I could handle it. When it did, I took out my phone and looked at the time. I think it was around 3:30 AM.
