Fast motion

Taeil told me everything.

The story about how they came together, the past and what it was like living with them.

I never noticed it at all, because I mostly lived somewhere else and in Tokyo I finally should gain a foothold.

But something kept me in here, I just didnt really knew what.

Weeks later.

The swelling on my head went away faster than I thought. We almost had Christmas and I sat as usual on my little stool in the Cáfe.

Taeil would wrote to me after he flew with his bandmates back to Korea. I was glad, because we missed us very much.

It was fresh again and  I had 10 minutes until I could close the shop. I looked out through the shop window.

No soul was on the street and it was snowing in masses. Where were they all?

I looked at my skirt and played with the node.

5 minutes.

And I would run to the door and Im finally able to disappear in my bed back home.

Speaking about the devil - the door opened.

The veil of the cold wind clutched my shoulders. It seemed so frighteningly familiar.

"Irina."

I shrugged and stared at the ceiling. I sat there with my back to the wall.

What, why, why do I feel so ..

I went black and everything began to spin.

I touched my head and realized that I had fallen off the chair.

Wasnt there somebody? I heard the door in the background rocking to the front and back. The wind was finally the Lord of the room. I was alone. All pure imagination.

I stood up and looked at the clock that hung just above me.

Damn, late again! What was wrong with me?

With my last strength, I turned to the door and locked it.

20 minutes later.

It was snowing outside, the flakes fell gently on the ground. I grabbed my backpack and walked out and locked the door, this time from the outside. I breathed in and out.

The air felt so good and my head started to see facets in my reflection on the window again.

Some time passed and I finally came to the corner in front of my home.

It was so dark. I could barely see my breath and felt the cold winter taking over the city. My eyes stared at the sky and I held out my hand.

"Perhaps the stars do fit between my fingers .." I spread them apart so that the stars were right between my fingers.

"One of you will be mine." I laughed. How stupid I am sometimes.

*klink*

I drew back my arm and ran, without turning back, to my front door. It was a reflex that I got everytime I walked home.

But this time.. my escape wasnt unfounded.

As I stood on my doorstep, I could see something in the window on the right side of me.

It moved.

Oh my God, it comes to me! What should I do? WHERE ARE MY KEYS?

Annie was back already? NO! I was too rigid to knock.

Something putted its hand on my back. Is it Taeil who wants to scare me again?

Or Annie? She wouldnt, no!

I looked slowly to the right. My heart was beating so loud. And eventually, I saw it ..

The monster.

My Monster.
