There wasn't anything wrong with my life. Everything was fairly normal, so normal it was almost boring. However, lately, something has been bothering me. I dont quiet know how to explain it, but have you ever had that feeling of someone watching you?
It's like that. I'd like to think I'm just being paranoid. But there's not much going on in my life to make me feel that way. Maybe stress from work? I have been getting tired of all the costumer complaints that's been coming in lately. I sighed and sunk further into my couch as I thought about it more.
Whether I was at work, home, or just outside in general I felt like I was being watched. Perhaps I was being silly. I've been single since I was born why would someone have their eye on me? As far as I'm concerned no one has ever gone out of their way to ask me out. I frowned at that thought, why exactly am I single? I dont think there is anything not to like about me. I think anyone would be lucky to have a girl like me, I'm one in a million. I can't believe I'm trying to make myself better about being single. I couldn't help but chuckle at the thought. Well when I meet the one that meant for me, it'll happen until then I'm living the single life. It's not like I hate it anyways.

I stretched and heard my shoulders pop.
"Ooh, I think I've been sitting at my desk for too long"
I looked at how dark the sky has gotten. Time really flies when your listening to people complain all day. I let out a soft yawn, it was only 6:30 yet I felt so tired. I started my slow walk home, I opted for walking to work today since I've been a bit lazy lately. When you hear your legs cracking when you walk, I doubt that's a good thing.
The walk home was relatively quiet, I greeted a few people I passed by on my way home until the sidewalks were empty. It was a residential area so I it get pretty quiet and empty fast once work is over. I looked through some videos on my phone while I was walking and I paused as a sudden chill ran up my spine. I looked behind me. But there was no one there.
I began to feel uneasy again, that feeling of someone watching me making me uncomfortable. I looked around but there was no one around. Maybe I should go see a therapist. I tried to relax, but in the corner of my eye I was sure I saw a figure smiling at me. I looked to my left but no one was there. I began to feel dread sink in. I was sure, very sure I saw someone.
I began to sprint to a jog and hurried home. I arrived at the door and my hand fumbled with the keys. Finally getting the door open I quickly closed and locked it. I tried to calm my racing heart and relax. I turned around, despite being home that's feeling of being watched did not leave. I went straight to my room and dove underneath my covers. I need to sleep, I'm just very tired and I'm seeing things. I closed my eyes hoping and waiting for sleep to take me, however that didn't happen until 30 minutes later.

After that day I started driving to work. I've been on edge lately and my coworkers can see it. I didn't know why this was happening or why I was feeling this way. Maybe I'm stressed or something, I didn't know what it was, but this sudden paranoia that I had was starting to bother me. I was on my way home from the park. I thought a breath of fresh air and a new scenery would be good for me. I do feel more relaxed now, but that feeling quickly faded away when I felt like there was someone behind me.
I quickly turned around and I gasped.
"Whoa t-there, didn't m-mean to spoke ya"
It was a monster, he was a head taller than me and had an interesting look to him, the most noticeable were the blue line like tears that came from his eye sockets.
"Oh, um, no its okay, sorry my minds just been...elsewhere" I looked at the stranger and I couldn't help but feel there was something very familiar about him.
