What was in the water

She's in me, and she won't leave. Every time I look at myself in the mirror, it's not me that's staring back. She may have the same face, the same hair, the same body, the same freckles, the same burns and scars, but my lord her eyes. Her eyes were chilling, scarring, psychotic and crazed. They stared at you like she knew your every secret, like she knew all your fears and weaknesses. You may not believe it, but she really does know every aspect of your life and who you are

Take it from me.
