I’ve been keeping a close eye on Dawn’s friend, Janice, recently -although the poor girl seemed quite fretful without my prior knowledge to what lies in her mind- just making sure she got home safely. I’m not sure where this need comes from to watch over her, maybe because Dawn worries? Yet I worry too. Even if I hardly know the girl, I still call ( Read more... )

I had the strangest dream last night -if it could be called such a thing in a conscious state- but no, it wasn’t a dream, was it? I only pray it was, for otherwise, the voices are returning. I imagined having trouble controlling my limbs, stuck to the floor, the constant drip of the tap. No. It wasn’t me, was it? It was someone else. A girl on the ( Read more... )

drip, drip, drip… she says, he lips pronouncing each word with vigor.
drip, drip, drip… the horseman says you have no place here, not even for the worms.

It has come to my attention that there are a great deal of job openings this summer. Why Stefan even suggested that if times were tough, he’d like me to accompany him painting local houses (that was said before the unfortunant happenings with him, of course). I hadn’t told him that money wasn’t an issue ( Read more... )

Several nights ago I offered Dawn a token of my love, which she all too happily accepted.

And yet, however much I longed to accompany her to Prom, it was not necessary. She and her friends were able to fight off what came there way.

I wonder if that was the stirring in the town I've been feeling in past weeks?

My mind’s a flutter. I have discovered that as of the summer, I will no longer be needed to work construction at the new school grounds and until such time as the company takes on another major undertaking, I will no longer be needed of my services. Yet Mr. Harris was kind enough to take me aside and offer me the occasional work, when it’s there. ( Read more... )

There’s a quietness that even I cannot comprehend; though as the quiet before the storm, a shift is coming. I can’t be certain when, only that it’s coming…
