The watch on my wrist

Back to the crime scene

    Ray understood that for all these nightmares to stop, he had to do the right thing, report himself to the police.
    He went to a police station and reported himself, narrating all what had happened that night, his accomplice and the nightmares he is been having.
    The police men were surprised because nobody reported of an old man's dead body nor found blood anywhere.
    Bruno, the police man and Ray went on the crime scene at 6:30pm. While Ray was explaining what happened that night, an old man came out of a house, dressed in black suit and coat with a homburg hat and gloves.
      "Good evening sir, how are you doing today?.....Bruno asked the old man".
    " I am fine thanks, i am going to my late wife's grave, Jenny for a clean up....the old man answered".
    "At this time? Isn't it too late for you to do that?" Bruno asked.
    "No, it is the perfect time for that. The place is more calm and i feel her presence more". The old man answered.
    "Okay sir, take care of you. I am on an investigation of a possible crime committed here. An old man was apparently killed by a young man".
    "I was not aware of that, but i have seen no dead body here and besides i am the only old man here........the old man responded".
The old man was about to go when he wispered in Ray's ear "by the way, nice watch son!".
Bruno didnot see this action, he was busy trying to understand what Ray was explaining the whole time.
    Ray recognised Philemon's voice and flipped out.
    "I sincerely donot understand what you have been explaining to me young man. Are you a drug addict? Have you smoken herbs? Bruno asked".
    "Sir, i think i have to go back home. I am having hallucinations and i am clearly not feeling fine".
    "No! I think you have to have your bed made in jail for a couple of days for making fun of us. Young man, follow me back to the police station".
    Ray had 3 days  in the police station with the watch on his wrist becoming more tight.
    Ray tried to obtain help from the police men to remove the watch but they saw nothing on his wrist. The watch was apparently imaginary to Ray.
    But Ray sees the watch, he feels it on his wrist, he feels the daily pressure it applies. However he might be seeing and feeling that alone, the watch might not be real, it might just be his mind trying to play tricks on him. Maybe the night in which they robbed the old man never happened. Maybe Ray is becoming insane.
