No! Why so soon? It seems like it happens earlier and earlier every year. I hate my neighbor. I hate this time of year. They are so real now. Why? It’s as if he’s still leering at me. His hollow eyes follow my every move. I know it’s a stupid fake skeleton but has he come back? Could it be him? The sun has betrayed me once again and left me exposed in the dark. I can’t hide! His shadow has found me, hiding under the covers where I pretend to sleep. Like before. Afraid he will find me. Afraid he will touch me. Will it ever end? It was supposed to stop! He wasn’t going to hurt me anymore. He didn’t move. I made sure. I made sure his eyes couldn’t haunt me anymore but even now he’s watching me.
