Journal entries22nd MarchI was out in the park for a stroll and there he was. He just sat there, watching me. He sat on a park bench and watched me as I threw Frisbees with my dog. I also noticed that.... He wasn't photographing me or anything. Just sat there. With his sunglasses on. 23rd MarchHe's still doing it, I mean it is getting creepy but I think I remind him of a lost son or something it can't be anything else. It can't be anything too serious. I'm not gonna call the police or anything I mean....he's just a man enjoying the park.29th MarchOkay....this is getting kind of creepy I mean, I can't be imagining this right.... I can't. I was okay with it for the first few days but now....now it's just getting creepy. I feel kinda uncomfortable. But not my dog, he seems happy as ever. What would I do without him.4th AprilI didn't go to the park for the past few days. My girlfriend broke up with me and I was in my room crying the whole time. MY dog kept nudging me to go play with him, but I wasn't into it. I finally got up and went to the park with him today. The man was still there.6th AprilThat's it, I'm home now and I'm calling the cops and giving them all the details. I don't give a shit. This has got to stop. Today was no different, I don't wanna go confront him or anything. The park is relatively empty so there's the chance of me getting kidnapped or something. The police will have to deal with him.7th AprilWell, the police got him alright. When I went to the park some people told me that the man had been dead for more than a week, had a heart attack on the park bench sometime last month. I mean all this time, he was actually dead, I just didn't know it. Jesus, I can't believe it. He sat there and all that time, he wasn't really in his body. But...you know what's really creepy? It's not that I thought a dead man was staring at me. It's the fact that he approached me the day before yesterday and asked me why I hadn't come to the park for the past week.
