Resisting the Inevitable

     I shot up out of bed. There's a dark figure on the edge of my fucking bed. I try to scream, but when it stares at me, I can't move. I can't scream. I can't breathe. 

            Fall prey to my will, Lewis. 

    That fills my head. It gets repeated over. And Over. And Over. Suddenly, it disappears. I gasp. My mind is clear. I'm shaking. My chest feels pains it's never felt before. Feels like its being stabbed. My throat feels like someone wrapped their hand around it, I take a deep breath. I reason it to be my hallucinations again. 


         Guess I was very, very wrong huh. 

      I wake up the next morning and head out to go find a job to pay for the damn apartment. I greet the front desk woman, and ask her, "what's your name?" She smiles, "Madison Lockheart." I nod, "Lewis Alaster. Thank you again." She nods and I go out to find a job in town. I luckily got a shower, so I look presentable. However, I still feel weird. Like I'm being followed. I just brush it off, but last nights events still haunt me. What the hell was that thing. What did it want? I've never seen that before. I see another person in an alley again, and suddenly feel the need to wash up again. I get looks, so i go to a bathroom, wash up my hands and face, and go to the job interview I got. I pass it, and get hired a week later. I try and call my wife but she won't pick up the phone.



  No one loves you, Lewis. Just kill yourself.
