I lie awake listening to the steady breathing of my sleeping friends. I’ve been lying awake for hours but I just can’t fall asleep.
I roll over onto my side, Anne, my best friend, lies there, sleeping peacefully. As I look at her calm face a small smile creeps onto my face. Ever since the… _incident,_ she’s had nightmares every night, it’s a relief to see her finally getting a restful sleep.

Losing consciousness is a waiting game that takes time—the longer you think about it the longer it takes. The longer your heart races in exciteme...
THIS IS A CONTINUATION OF ESCAPIST AND STALKER.
Finally, he was in control. No voice in his head, no ghost pulling the strings.
It was a rare thing, nowadays, to be in charge of himself. To do what he wanted.
