As I ponder on what had occurred earlier. I also wonder what could be to come. As I sit in my room on my bed. The print of where leo laid with me last night was still visible. But barely. I lightly rubbed my hand over the indention. Every crevice. As I buried my hand in the sheets. I felt a tingling sensation in my body. One I had not felt in a while. It wasn't a sexual enticement. It was something much greater. Something my heart longed for. Something I could not control.

As I get older. The worse my life gets. It doesn't matter what I do. Something falls apart, crumbles, before my knees. Sexual desires become feelings and feelings turn into emotions that one can not get rid of painlessly. I always get hurt. One way or another. I continued to think about these things as I sat up on my bed, rubbing Leonardo's print he left behind. I knew I had to get up before tears filled my eyes.

I got up and walked slowly towards the door. Hearing the floor boards squeak under my feet. Feeling depressed as I walked. I knew this wouldn't go away easily. Or maybe not even at all. But I had to try to ignore it. So I opened the door and journeyed downstairs, putting on a fake smile hoping that nobody would notice.

But when I got there. They were all staring at me. Like I had done something wrong. I just said. "What?" The room turned black. They all disappeared. And I could hear loud thumping coming down the stairs. I turned my head slowly towards the staircase. I saw nothing. But I smelt something awful. Like rotting meat. I heard three knocks. Constantly. I just stood there still. I was so scared. But suddenly. Everything stopped. The knocks, the loud bangs. Everything. I felt hot breath on the back of my neck. Then I heard a whisper. "What have you done?" It said. I told myself over and over, 'Don't turn around. Don't turn around.' I casually twisted my neck slowly. There was no one. Just myself in this empty house. Silence. But I wasn't taking anymore chances. I ran out the house. Into the darkened woods. And I had a strong feeling that this wasn't over.
