[00:18.51]The Decorator
[00:24.11]神秘的"装修工"
[00:33.22]I live in a house alone.
[00:35.41]I have lived in the same house for 5 years.
[00:38.81]Nothing out of the ordinary
[00:40.81]has ever happened prior 1 to the last 2 weeks.
[00:44.67]It started on a Friday when I came home from work.
[00:48.85]It was a rather long workweek,
[00:51.34]we were very busy and I was tired
[00:53.89]and just wanted to get home
[00:55.76]and watch TV for a while just to relax.
[00:58.99]I just wanted to have a relaxing weekend.
[01:02.05]I got home at around 6:15pm.
[01:05.25]I opened my front door
[01:06.98]only to discover the first of many unusual things.
[01:10.89]When I walk into my house
[01:12.75]there is a small hallway 2 about 5 feet
[01:15.50]with a throw down carpet for wet or dirty shoes.
[01:20.20]On the left wall is a picture
[01:21.95]that I bought 10 years ago of the Empire State Building;
[01:25.83]on the right wall there is a mirror.
[01:28.81]I opened the door to discover
[01:30.89]that the throw down carpet was perfectly 3 straight
[01:34.45]but completely 4 up side down!
[01:37.15]Also, the picture and the mirror
[01:39.12]were opposite of where they were supposed to be.
[01:42.93]At first, I thought maybe somehow one of my friends
[01:46.19]got a copy of my house keys
[01:48.20]and went inside to play a little joke on me.
[01:51.49]I looked at the picture of the Empire State Building
[01:54.34]and it was perfectly straight the same went for the mirror.
[01:58.46]I knew without a doubt that one of my friends
[02:01.39]could not have done that...
[02:03.47]there is no way that things
[02:04.85]like that would be exact or perfect!
[02:09.17]Next, I walked into the living room,
[02:12.09]now thinking maybe some weird 5 burglar 6 got into my house
[02:15.94]and stole things from me and was playing a sick joke.
