One day i came home, walked up into my room and remarked a weird smell... it smelled a lot like feces, diahrea even. I had a bit of a cold so i just ignored it, figuring that i either passed gas or was just hallucinating. The next morning i woke up (having forgotten about the smell, to which i just got used to and ceased noticing) and i smelled it again. It smelled like shit, not very potent, but like shit.

This continued for a few days, every day i would spend atleast 30 minutes searching my room, sniffing everything trying to figure out where it was coming from... I never found anything that smelled funny, except for the air itself... i checked the basement, the attic, the bathroom, everything.

I later remarked that the smell seemed to be strongest near the CENTER OF MY ROOM. the absolute center, as if there were some spirit hovering around in my room making it smell.

People told me it was probably a dead mouse, but i found that to be a stupid suggestion, especially since the walls didn't smell. Over the course of a few days the smell got a little more rancid and irritated my nose a bit, it was starting to smell a little more like sewage or something rotting.

all the sudden this morning it went away... completely. still don't know what it's from.

the scary part is, last year around this time my grandmother died of intestinal cancer. During her last months she was bed ridden and was losing control of her bowels which often carried the same odor.

Whenever i think of this in combination with the smell, my eyes start to water and i have this inexplicable impulse to cry.

Another thing that was interesting is, the smell seemed to decrease and increase in severity over the course of the few days, and a few times it was actually stronger near my bed than near the center of the room. This was generally in the morning.

now, near the center of the room is where i usually sit all day (infront of my computer). and quite obviously i spend my nights in bed.
