He analyzed me from across the room.

It was in that weird, self-aware, psychological sort of stare.

I stared back.

It was my birthday today.

Cake,
Balloons,
Party hats.

The whole package.

Whilst from across the room,
His
Red
Demon
Eyes
Stared back at me.

In that moment, I didn't know whether to be
Scared
Or
Amused.

The fact that anyone looked my way was amazing in itself.

I braced for impact.

Later that night, I found myself out by the lake behind my house.

It was refreshing; the crisp, fall air slapping against my skin with a feverish haze. I loved it.

I spotted two, red eyes staring at me from across the water.

I knew he would be here.

He follows me everywhere I go.

As if some lost puppy dog in the night, howling at the moon for his owners to come find him.

I waited.

The pairs of demon eyes slowly and cautiously crept closer by the minute.

I waited.

The wind stirred up around me with the presence of something definitely not human.

I waited.

I waited
For the prick
Against
My
Neck.

The trickling
Of fluids
Cascading
Down
My
Skin.

The smell of rust filled my nostrils.

So vile,
That the world suddenly went
Dark
Around me...
