What do you want from me... Alas, I do not understand what you perceive me to be! I am no monster, you sir! You are the monster! Be gone from my life! Return to the farthest reaches of hades you so gradually crawled up from! I gasped, he was gone! Yet the ticking still continued on. That noise, haunting me for days it has! Oh yes! That wonderfully treacherous noise that ticks on and on. That fiend must be the cause of it! Him! It was him to be blamed! No one else. Or am I to blame? Could this all be in my imagination? It cannot dear! For the beast of a man has riddled my floor with blood! I stopped IT from attacking me! IT came at me with that awful ticking noise following suit. Now that IT is dead, the ticking should have stopped wouldn't you think? Alas, you think wrong. The ticking has continued to touch me. IT cannot be stopped. It will never be stopped! Stop calling me mad! I am not or never will be insane! LEAVE! ME! ALONE!
