I
watch.
I
study.
I
prowl.
I
hunt.
I
always go in with a plan. A set of rules for myself. I don’t take unnecessary
risks. That’s how I’ve been able to evade capture all these years.
But
there’s something about this girl that is different than the others. When I
finally meet her, the rules become a blur. And I break the most important one
of all—I take her with me.
——-
It’s
just my imagination—that feeling of being watched. That those icy eyes— a vivid
turquoise with a distinct golden fleck—aren’t watching me.
It’s
just stress. I am the person everyone relies on. Maybe that’s why I haven’t
been feeling so content with my life lately. Why I dream those eyes belong to
someone who can tear me away from all of my responsibilities.
But
these are just shameful fantasies, never meant to breach reality.
Then
one night, the dream comes true, only it’s a horrific nightmare.
Now,
I only have one task: survival.
Patience. It's the most important tool in my arsenal. I plan every hunt from start to finish. I watch their lives through windows. I learn their routines. I enter their homes and go through their keepsakes and take a small token here or there. Something they won't notice or assume they have misplaced. I may move a picture. Eat something. Just enough so that somewhere in their subconscious they feel my presence long before I am standing in front of them. That used to be enough. Just being there, surrounded by their things, the vestiges of their daily lives. It used to be enough to look at the tokens I kept and remember the rush I felt being inside the walls I had watched from afar. But that rush faded a long time ago, vanishing in a spectacular eruption the day the one person who understood me died. Without her, the loneliness became unbearable and the rage swelled. It filled me until I could feel it creeping out of my skin, until I was so full of rage and pain that I had to put it on someone else to make it disappear. Watching wasn't enough. I had to hear their voices. See their faces. Steal their lives. So instead of just taking, I began to leave things behind: tape, rope, gloves, lube.
