What is that beeping?

Ever since I got back home following Christmas (I go out to my family's farm every Christmas for a week...you heard right...a week), there has been something upsetting me every night. No, it's not that extra Christmas weight that I've gained or the turkey that is still sitting in my stomach...it's a beeping sound. And I swear I only hear it at night.

I started thinking about my Christmas presents, and whether I brought anything back with me that beeps...since it clearly cannot be something that was BB (Before Beep) in my house. But this AB (After Beep) is starting to drive me crazy!

The day I got back from Christmas vacation (sort of vacation), I purchased a new phone. I thought to myself, 'I bet my new phone is beeping!' But it's not (it, rather, makes a high pitched squealing noise while it charges at night which keeps me awake in between beeps).

After about an hour of lying awake in bed, I decided I might as well get up to see where this beeping was coming from (I wasn't sleeping anyway).

First I checked my alarm clock. It was set...except to the radio. The alarm clock was not beeping, nor was the radio playing.

Next I scoured my room for other electronic devices (that make sounds). What I found was:
- my camera: not beeping
- my iPod: not beeping (not even the song Beep by the Pussycat Dolls)
- my laptop: not beeping

After I thought for a minute about how I seemed to have a lot of electronic devices in my room, and became mildly concerned that they might be banding together to form an army against me, I left my room to continue to search my house for beeping.

The stove: not beeping
The alarm system: not beeping (when it does beep, it doesn't wake me up anyway)
The microwave: not beeping
Computron: not beeping
Tv: not beeping
PS3: not beeping
Xbox: not beeping
Books: not beeping

At this point it was around 3 in the morning...and although I could not follow the beeping, I could still hear it (I swear that I could). It would soon be time to go to work. So I walked back upstairs, head hung in defeat, went back to bed, and determined that this beeping must be some sort of dark alarm. It doesn't beep during the day...so it must be?

Right now, I feel like I'm entering the Shining...

All beeping and no silence makes Becky a dull girl
All beeping and no silence makes Becky a dull girl
All beeping and no silence makes Becky a dull girl
All beeping and no silence makes Becky a dull girl
All beeping and no silence makes Becky a dull girl
All beeping and no silence makes Becky a dull girl

I fear that I will never have a happy ending to this story. One day beeping...I will find you. And I will end you!
