YELP FOR HELP

Last night I was in ooty, taking its refuge from the scorching heat of Madras. It is really cool up there..Some place to relax your mind and breathe freely. No quizes to mug for, no profs to screw your system, no mess(y) food and no subtle classroom slumber. There was a gigantic bed, with a warm cosy mattress upon which yours truly curled around a soft cushion with my little head on a pillow that I snuggled into and clean cosy blankets made the icing on the cake.. (quite literally) :P

I was in a resonance tube. (It has water btw).. I was drowning in it.. I had to solve some problem and find out theeta. You would think my dreams would be more romantic, to say the least. I mean, given the circumstances described above you would rather be dreaming about something else. I mean the last thing you would want is to dream about resonance tube. Well, actually you'd want even less to be drowning. And trigonometry was never my cup of tea. Of all the... -frown- frown-frown-ponder-scratch head-think-dirty face-scratch head again- (I'm trying to get theeta)-complimentary angles?-The demon starts talking-SSS congruence-was it sss similarity? - hisssss-was that a snake??? -snakes hiss -snake??? SNAKE??? I get up with a jolt.

Something is wrong.. rub eyes.. look around... THE DOOR IS AJAR!!! Ok I'm not exactly a coward but I'm sure you'll understand this is not exactly good for my heart. The only noise I could hear was of my heart pounding.. I wished (too soon) that it wouldn't be so silent.. The deafening silence made my limbs crack but the sudden movement made it even worse. I would give anything to go back to theeta.. I grasped for the light by my bed .. (I'm not as stupid as I seem).. I scream. There is a limit to how much you can torture a poor kid before she starts screaming.

"SHUT UP!!!!!" he says. I shut up. I blink. I am actually taking instructions from a lizard!!!! Wait.. do lizards hiss? Apparently yes. Now I was getting angry.
"Did you open the door?" (Yes, I was takling to a lizard in the middle of the night, on my bed) It climbed on to me YUCK!!! "Wat the bloody.. What do u mean yuck?????" it screamed at me.. well, to be fair to it, noone likes to hear "Yuck" wen they touch someone.. fair enough.. "Sorry", I murmered.. "Wat do you want?"

"I want peace" it says to me. It takes all the effort from my side to keep myself from swearing. I was sleeping not so blissfully. But sleeping all the same. Cosily. This creature comes, wakes me up, and says it wants peace. Of all the...! I swallow and ask (politely) "What should I do?"
"Well", he says, " You were screaming in your sleep. And I couldn't sleep. Well the answer is 30."

"30??? " I ask, "What is 30?" It gives an exasperated nod and says "Theeta of course." I stare at him and then pluck him and throw him against the wall. He staggers to the ground. "Shut the door behind you" I yell after him.

I go back to sleep. I'm no longer in the resonance tube. I'm in the ocean and this time it's all the way from alpha to theeta that I have to solve. Everytime I manage to come up to the surface I'm gasping, looking for a particular lizard. Let me know if you find him, will you? I need to be grateful.
