Behind you. Behind you. Behind you. Again.

Again

Again

Always that feeling of uncomfort every time you turn your back to someone.

Every.

Single.

Time.

Trying to sleep?

No.

Behind you.

But nothing's there.

It's a beautiful... insecurity. Doing the simplest things can leave you uncomfortable. I'm quite unsure why myself.

Almost. Every. Day.

Even sitting in front of someone. Uncomfortable feelings.

I'll tell you here and now. I cannot explain it. Nor do I comprehend it... It's... It's a bit like when you're walking into a room alone. But you feel as there's someone- or something there. Watching.

Only this persists. You look behind you, nothing is there. You turn around- the feeling is still there. No matter what you do that feeling is still there. You don't care about anything else you just feel the dread of feeling there's something behind you. Walking alone? Behind you. Sitting in a chair? Behind you. This has happened many times. Too many. Why?

Getting dressed.

Behind you.

Packing bags

Behind you.

Now let me ask you one thing...

Have you ever noticed, while showering, the curtain?

When the water gets onto it doesn't it look like a splatter of paint?

Getting undressed.

Behind you.

In the shower

look to your sides...

the paint splatter shape is red.

Now..

Look behind you one last time.
