I turn off the TV and let the room sink in the dark. I will probably hit on every possible obstackle while trying to find the light switch. Maybe I can sleep on the couch. 

I get up from the couch and coldness wraps my body. It's winter coming and as much as I love snow, I hate that I'm never warm enough in this weather of time. 

For my luck, I get to turn on the lights with no accidents. Only now I see the mess I've made in the room - journals all over the desk, my socks laying down on the carpet just as the rest of my todays clothes, smoked cigarette on the desk, 2 beers on the ground. Well, my life looks shitty from this view. 

I got to the kichen and take coca-cola from the fridge. I drink a little and then I put it back. I wonder if Senatra is sleeping. Not that I care. 

I feel really tired so I decide to go to bed. My eyes are practically closed when I fall in the bed.

Something wakes me up. I freeze in my bed listening for some sound, but I hear nothing. I slowly and quietly get out of my bed and make my way to the doors. I'm dressed in long, black T-shirt and red panties. It's all dark.

I open the doors and go to the stairs. I look down at the living room. At first I see nothing but then I allmost lose my head when I see two eyes in the dark. 

I run to swich on the lights as fast as I can. The light hits my face and I see a man running to the outdoors. I fly my way down the stairs and follow the man. I try to remember every single detail of him - what is he wearing, how did his face looks like, the shirt, jeans, even shoes. I could tell that he isn't from this town.

I run out of the house and everything is pitch black. I can still see him running and I follow after him. I lived in the suburb and the closest house from mine was 1 and a half cilometre away. 

My legs are full of energy, as I try to catch the man. Soon enough, we are running deeper in the city, he has gotten further away from me and it gets more difficult to track him down. After few metres I stop and catch my breath. He has escaped.

I curse and brake bush that is next to me. Now I'm fucking freezing.

This is the third time in the week. Fucking third time! 

I go back to home, my legs are freezing. I can't stop thinking from where do they come? I've been keeping an eye on people who stay on motel and tracked them down, nothing seemed unusual in their actions. 

I have to go and see is Senatra still there. They have probably been searching for her.
