     The job goes well, for a while. Until the body hallucinations start happening more. I start to realize what these "hallucinations" are. They are the exact opposite. Every time it happens, always wash up. It's because there's things that need to be hidden. When I realize that, I quit the job and board up in my apartment. I'm scared to leave the house. I can't take it anymore. I can't take the voices. I can't understand. Why me. Why do they want me. Why do they want me dead.


     Because you're useless. We must pick off the mentally weak first. 


     I get confused, "What are you. What do you want. WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU?" A form appears in the corner of my eye. "I am what you deny existence of. I am what you hide away from. I am what you must accept. I am your murderer, in a sense." I start to scream "WHY. WHY DID YOU TAKE EVERYTHING FROM ME? WHY ME?!" I'm sobbing out of fear at this point, and I can't move. "Oh Lewis, because you don't deserve anything you have in life. So you don't deserve life at all. You're wife, children, nothing you had is what you deserved. So I did what needed to be done. Now that you are in my territory, you live by my rules." I feel myself start to move to a pen and paper. It writes a suicide note out. Then it moves me to this cassette recorder to leave a final message. I love you Eliza, I love you Liam. Please, find out what the hell this is. Struggling noises start coming from the background. You hear choking, then silence. Scratching sounds can be heard faintly. *click*.

     "Oh my god." I say, not knowing what just happened. I grab the cassette and rush out the door, tears welling up in my eyes. I go to the place Dad described, and go to do some digging.
