Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you.
2nd of July
Later at night, porch of the Doctor's office
It's dark tonight. Even with the wonderous electric lights glowing through windows, and street lamps casting circles of light onto Main Street... it's still dark. The sky is overcast, and I don't think there's a moon tonight, which doesn't help.
I am not afraid of the dark, truth be told; I am quite at home in it. But lately, it's been unsettling. I light a cigarette and inhale deeply, staring out past the lights at my end of Main, towards the river. It's also damp tonight, more of a chill than I am used to in early July. Of course, that might be the cause and effect of being near the river once again...
No. It is not the damp causing me to shiver. Nor is it the dark making me want to stay close to the light, to be around people. I find my eyes darting about, looking for something out there in the dark, something that has had me on edge for the past handful of weeks.
Swear to God, I feel as if something's watching me.
Take another drag on my cigarette, and flick it away from me, out onto the road. I don't want to be out here, exposed. With one last look around, I back into the office and lock the door behind me. I feel silly, being so on edge, but I have to admit I am grateful Lannie is here. I am not sure how well I would sleep if I were alone.
This is ridiculous. I am a grown man, and I can hold my own in any fight...
Fuckin' Excolo.
