Chapter 14

November

It has been more than a week since Halloween, since I made a carving board of my arms. Thank goodness, it is cold weather, so I have a reason to wear long-sleeved shirts to hide what I did to myself. Cutter is keeping his distance, he saw my arms and he is more than upset with me. I don’t even know why he bothers, in a year I will no longer be here or sooner. I told him he’d be better off if he would forget about me. He gave me some line about how he made a promise to me that he would put me back together again and that he is still waiting for me to see that he is good for me. I told him you can’t fix what wants to be left broken. Duct tape couldn’t fix me, and duct tape fixes everything.

The darkness has claimed me, and all will be right soon enough. I just need time to plan things out more effectively this time I haven’t spoken to another soul about what I witnessed that night in my apartment. It wasn’t like a ghost either. It was like a walking corpse. I don’t believe in zombies, but if they are real that’s what I saw that night—the walking dead.

I especially won’t tell my doctor, he would commit me, and I can’t go back there. If I do, I may never leave. I won’t die in that horrible place.

I never again want to hear the screams of terror in the night of the institution. You could smell the hurt and the fear with every breath. There is a sinister feel to that hospital. I am beginning to wonder if all this time if it hasn’t been death stalking me—waiting to stake his claim on me. Maybe it hasn’t been Harlan at all. Maybe he has truly passed on to the other side without me. What if it is the devil coming for me, to make me pay for my sins? For the first time in my life, I am scared of what is next.

I wish I could find a medium. There was an older lady who used to come to see my Gram a lot when I was younger. They have said she could connect with the spirits. I would be paying her a visit if she were still living. I don’t know of anyone else who has the gift.

So much for that idea.

I need to get through my appointment with Dr. Peters and figure out how in the hell I am going to make this brochure.

I am strictly taking the bus from now on. The weather is getting too chilly to walk or ride my bike. And I am no longer accepting rides from Brianna. When you let people in too close, they burn you in the end. It never fails.

What I need is a car. I have enough in my account that I could get a cheap used one. I may have to look into that after my appointment with Dr.
