Prologue

     Ever since I was young I always see these "Other beings". Every night when I go to sleep, I still remember when i first got my own room and how the closet would slowly creak open. Always stopping  right before I would see what did it. As I grew older I came closer in contact with these "things" and I started to be able to sense them, feel them, and even smell them. The odor was not pleasant, it was an old rotten smell, might have even come close to smell like death itself! As time passed and I got more used to these "beings", my senses were more effective, I could see everything, sense everything, smell everything, and be able to differentiate what was one of these beings, and what was something else shared with the rest of the people around me. However, as close as I came to these beings, I could NEVER hear them. This made me feel so desperate. I knew they were there, I could sense them, I was able to tell they were there, but the missing noise provoked an immense fear inside of me. 

     People soon became more aware of my constant state of paranoia. And I was sent to a psychologist. However, I wasn't paranoia I was simply just cautious. I had to keep my senses constantly in full attention of what was around me, since I could not hear them, they could get closer to me at any time when my guard was down. Only God knows what to me. Maybe convert me into one of them? Maybe they were demons trying to drag my soul into the depths of Hell? Or maybe they were angels of death trying to steal my life away?

     I had refused to attend to said psychologist but I was dragged to his so called office, which actually looked more like his own apartment.  The session went by quick, he just asked me about myself and I ended up telling about "them" and about the past experiences. Being 25 I probably sounded crazy, or mental. And I was taken to see a psychiatrist, whom after our very first visit prescribed some pills for me. He explained to me that the pills would help me get rid of the beings and would help me feel less stressed and I would be able to maintain a more normal lifestyle. He did, however, warn me that those pills were not easily found, but that whenever l needed more he could provide me with some more, and he also mentioned that the effects would kick in slowly, and that the more I took the faster they (beings) would fade away. I started taking them 2 a day to see how that worked.
