There’s a prickling at the back of my neck and a sensation of spiders crawling up my spine. My heart is pounding as my eyes dart around like a hunted animal. I know you’re watching from somewhere.

The day as warm
Hot even
But still
Shivers crawl up
my spine
The hair on the back of my neck
stands on end
And my mind won’t stop reeling
Going back and forth
Wondering who is watching
Because someone has to be
Every Step
Is it’s own battle
I’m fighting myself
Wondering
Where
Should
I

Out of nowhere a young mailman runs past her dropping a newspaper.
”Read all about it!” yells the mailman.

Sarah pics up the newspaper and unfolds it.
She scans it and fi...
Tick tock

on the clock.
Except ive got
not one clue,
who is watching me walk.
I feel like a
