I fell down today. My knee hit the cement. I bled, and I cried.
But I didn't.
I stood up and pretended that it never happened. I walked away without damage.
Later in the evening, while changing my clothes for the night, I remembered falling. I looked at my knee again. I could have sworn, for a moment, that I had ripped it apart. But all I had was the old child's scar, barely visible.
I finished changing and went downstairs. I turned towards the kitchen for a late snack, and sitting in my chair was him. Four sandy dogs rushed out to meet me, and the birds sat screaming on the still fan. He stood up and grinned at me. I felt like my knees were giving way.
Blood on his shirt. His shirt. It wouldn't take much to guess where it came from...
The dogs, my beloved, gentle dogs, turned on me and ran away. The screaming birds died... Just died.
Silence.
But... there is still screaming.
I can hear her screaming as he walks closer to me.
Blood.
Mine. I did it... it was my doing. I killed them, and left him with the blood...
He grins at me.
I scream. He can't have me now! He can't! They said... They said he couldn't...
They said I was free. I was okay.
Voices scream at me.
Kill him...
No, run away...
Kill yourself.
"But first... kill them." He motions to my family.
No... no, not them... Lord, please not them. I left him with their blood... I left the voices with him so long ago.
So long...
He stands not even a foot away from me. His hand... His hand reaches out for me, and I can't move. I can't.
Someone... Anyone... please...
My cat runs downstairs, breaking the silence. I jolt, and it is all gone. The blood is gone. The voices are gone. He is gone.
My sister sits at the computer, not noticing my silence. I hear a sound upstairs, and music from below. No blood.
I'm not hungry anymore.
So I walk into the kitchen for that snack.
True story.
