The Watcher – Now

Wednesday, 12 September 2018

It has only been a few days since I dropped the necklace into her hands. Patricia must have had the shock of her life as I gave her back a memory. My instinct was that it would send her over the edge. I intended to push her to the point of being frustrated and filled with regret. I should feel sorry for her, but the hatred burns too deep. I wanted her to feel how I feel.

I’m back in my favourite spot in the woods where the crows congregate to spy on their surroundings. It is as if I am in sync with the birds that flock above me as though they are looking for trouble. It’s not just trouble I seek, but revenge.

This secluded pathway that leads on to the back of their house is perfect. Equipped with my binoculars I can take a good look into each window as I fuel my rage. I want to watch her die, but it has to be slow and painful. She should suffer for her actions because this despicable bitch is pure evil.

The chill in the air is keeping me awake as darkness is edging slowly into the night sky. I’ve been watching her for a couple of hours. The slow movement from one room to another, a little unsteady on her feet. I see she has been drinking again. I should pity her, but the devastation she caused in my life is unforgivable. I once trusted her.

Twenty years ago, Patricia befriended me in the hospital when I was heavily pregnant. I was only sixteen years old and being in the hospital was the first time in months I was able to stay warm, have a comfortable bed and eat food regularly without begging for it in alleyways, or near shop entrances in the city centre.

I thought she was going to be my midwife; I trusted her. She came across as though she was my best friend. Patricia was like the older sister I never had. She told me a few issues from her past with her abusive mother. I believed her; I opened up to her and gave her details of my drug addictions. These were all things I had managed to cover up with the doctors. I lied to them, but Patricia was like a best friend, she was understanding and so warm to me. She even managed to slip me some methadone she had acquired. I never knew how she managed to get her hands on so many drugs. I assumed it was due to her working in the hospital. I was so thankful at the time because my body craved it. I yearned for more, it was like a guilty secret between us. Wrong in so many ways because I hadn’t even given birth, but the dosage was always so minimal to begin with.

Her smile, her warmth, her persona was that of a woman I thought cared about girls like me. All the time that I knew her, I was being cheated.
