I don't know why I've felt so uneasy lately. Nothing major has happened so far, the summer has been pretty uneventful. I would wake in the morning, take my dogs a walk, go to work, come home, go to bed, repeat. Looking back now, there were small signs, but my mind never dreamed of what was really going on.

Turning my car around I drove to the park where I always take my dogs. Getting out I locked the door and headed onto the path that lead into the forest. I pulled out my i-phone and put in my head phones, turning on Pandora to the Today's Country station. Love and Theft played in my ears as I stuck my phone and hands into my jacket pockets. Most evenings in Ohio where warm, but tonight had a slight chill and the air smelled of rain. I walked through calmly enjoying the summer night. A chill ran down spine and I rubbed at the goose bumps that formed on my arms looking around, suddenly feeling like I was being watched. I kept walking foreword, eyes constantly scanning the foliage as the feeling never faltered. I jumped and held back a scream as a rabbit bolted out in front of me, my nerves on high alert. I let out a sigh and quick walked back to my car, not sure what I was running from. I jumped into my car and started it, giving myself a few moments to sit and think.

What is wrong with me? I thought to myself. You're crazy you know.

I looked up and felt my whole body go rigid and my blood run cold.

I could've sworn... no.

Heart beat pounding in my ears I quickly reversed my car and drove down the road to my home. I couldn't get into the door faster as I flung it open and practically threw myself inside. Trying to slow my own breathing, I ran a shaky hand through my auburn curls and went to the bathroom. I splashed water onto my face and looked up at the green eyes staring back at me. Dark circles had started to form under my eyes from lack of sleep. I sighed and wondered for the hundredth time what was wrong with me.

"You're going insane, that's what's wrong with you." I said to my reflection. "And now you're talkin to yourself."

I shook my head and sighed, walking into the living room and laying down on the couch turning on the t.v. I must have dosed off because when I opened my eyes the television had gone into sleep mode. I rubbed my eyes and sat up, eyes gazing out my back door windows. For the second time that day I got that feeling of being watched, and my eyes landed on something, something my brain couldn't even comprehend.

"You're...no. No no no. No you can't be real." I stammered, looking around for an escape, knowing there wasn't one.
"You don't sound very sure of yourself." It... HE said. I could hear the smirk in his voice.
You know, if he could smirk.
