The Visitor

“Let Me In!” he roared. I shot up in bed, covers strangling my skin, pillows stealing my breath. A cool breeze trickled through my window like water, racing along the walls and covering my body, until I gasped for air. He was back again. I gripped the murderous sheets, fear crawling up my spin like the legs of a spider, desire never far behind it. He was back for me. I looked slowly towards the window at the moon, whose innocent bright eyes gazed back at me facetiously. “Let me in…” he begged, voice like crashing waves against soft sand. “Please…let me in,” he asked again, and I could imagine his eyes—that winter grey flickering silver—laughing at me. “Open the door…” he lulled, seducing my mind, controlling my thoughts.

I couldn’t be fooled by their joyful play, for once I left the safely of my room, they would grab me and steal me away.

BlindSide

“I love you…” It’s the scariest thing to hear, the hardest thing to say, and the worst thing to believe. I knew this and yet when he said those words I couldn’t help but believe him. Trust him. Want him. Desire. It’s a scary thing to feel. To want something you might never have. To reach for something you might never grasp. And yet…I did. “I love you…” Three words, eight letters, the power of the world in their hands. Once uttered they altered me—transformed me, and once broken they destroyed me.
