I found a little place to stay, it's all boarded up and dirty but I'll be fine, at least I know I'll get a little privacy.

As soon as I settled in, the thoughts came back.
And after all this time pushing people away, I finally realized... I'm lonely...

I leaned back on pealing wall-paper.

I sat staring at the ground. and without hesitation I threw the knife away from me. I slid to the ground as I stared at it from across the room.

"You" I whispered
I don't know what reason I would have to talk to a knife... but I did.

But although my words were directed sat the blade, I wasn't really talking to it... I was talking to the man from all those years ago

Every little thump in the night was no coincidence in my mind... I became paranoid, it's him always him...

'I'm going mad' I kept telling myself

'None of it is real... your just crazy'

But still all my time for the next few weeks that wasn't devoted to finding food and other stuff needed to live, was spent rolling around the floor in agony, fighting my madness.

I didn't do to well though, if you look on the walls, they're covered in carved words

'He's coming'
'My legs'
'Educate them'
'Crazy'
'Freak'

All over my walls. if grab my knife and carve it into the walls around me.

I suffered in that little room for so long... until I realized something...
