Back again

Do you ever get the feeling that you are being watched? Well, I like to say if you feel this way you probably are being watched.

For the past week, I have had this feeling. There was no avoiding it. I didn't want to talk about it either. People would think I am crazy.

I couldn't talk about it even if I wanted to. My silence has made my voice collapse. It was as if I lost my voice. If I did speak it was quiet and in a slightly higher pitch than my regular voice.

Silence is a part of my thunder.

Entry #66

Thunder + Lightning

I am lightning, I am thunder

I like my thunder more

You can see my lightning

You can hear my thunder... if you choose to

The people see my lightning

But very few can hear my thunder

Be able to hear my scream

Hear my pain. Hear my cry.

My thunder is more fun than my lightning

Thunder is real and

sometimes hearing is better than seeing

Entry #67

See me

Hear me to see my truth. If all you see is lightning. You don't know me at all. You may see me thrive in summer but did you know my favourite is Fall. You see me sink a basket. But have you seen me take down a wicket? You always see me on top. But have you ever asked me if I wanted it all to stop? You guys are so slow, you don't even realize you are looking at a shadow. Y'all are a bunch of hypocrites, in reality, I don't even think y'all could even handle it.

One week and a half later

I took a long way to walk home today. I needed a distraction from my day of feeling absolutely invisible. I was two blocks away from home and I saw chalk on the sidewalk. I thought it was some little kids drawing.

Then I realized there are symbols. Four squares had giant symbols on them.

Square 1 "/"

Square 2 "#"

Square 3 "+"

Square 4 "="

No one in their right mind would do that randomly. Especially in that order. You may think it was nothing. But in my mind. Those symbols in that sequence meant...STOP.

I froze. Someone knew I was coming here. Jayden was clearly still upset with me. Yet, I never told anyone our code. Beth knows it. Though she wouldn't do something like this. It had to be Jayden.

I had to know if he was out there. I was contemplating yelling out his name. If anyone were to pop up they would probably think I'm crazy but, everyone already thought I was.
