Qoise: /kwoy-ze/ I was laying in bed, unable to fall asleep, when all of a sudden I heard a noise. The noise was odd…something I had never heard before. I nudged my boyfriend and asked, “Did you hear that qoise?” He mumbled something unintellilgable, rolled over, and fell back asleep. I was left to ponder what that qoise was. Etymology: Qoise is that combination of the word questionable and noise. Created by: Kallystie.
Insomnoises: /in som noy zes/ Morphea Wakemore had moved into her first new house recently. She loved the location, the layout and features of the new place. It was an older home, with a colorful past, but it gave her the character she wanted. Everything was perfect except for the insomnoises. She might drop off at her regular bedtime, but every night at 2:45 am the sounds started. Creepy, strange and eerie noises that kept her awake for the rest of the night.
