I didn't know what to do. The only thing I knew was that I was surrounded by the thoughts that tormented me as a child.
    And then I saw him. The thing I had been seeing...
    "YOU AREN'T REAL!"
    I began to cover my ears and rock myself back and forth for comfort.
    I had been cornered with no escape; a stream of salty warm tears that irritated my skin ran down my face. Then he came closer.
    "LEAVE ME ALONE," I warned, "DONT YOU DARE COME CLOSER!"
    By then I tried to find a way around him knowing: he wouldn't stop.
