Dear Diary,

He caught me. He caught me today, with metal in his hand. I was making a bag, near the stones, when he caught me. 

He had come towards me with the metal, quietly at his side, and had stealthily walked through the grass to my stone. I hadn't even noticed until I saw his shadow within mine, darker and fatter. 

I ran, then, leaving the bag behind me. Maya had been lying down beside me before -- she would protect the bag. I know she would. She had almost become a bag, so she knew how precious the bags were. My life meant nothing if I didn't make the bags. 

I was a fast runner. I always knew I was a fast runner; running was the only way the bald man would stay away from me. He clinked the metal behind me twice, his meek attempt to scare me. 

But I wasn't scared of him. I wasn't scared of anyone. I just didn't want to have to make a bag for him. 

Not for him. 

Never for him. 

The thought of making a bag for him churns my stomach. I need a distraction. I need to see her again. 

I need my pills. 

I'll write again.
