I found Edmond’s music under the bed. It was also where the player was. I jammed out to some Bob Segar while doing the dishes. I also swept, mopped the floor, dusted and made the bed. I then listened to some older Kid Rock while I cleaned the bathroom in between

me singing and dancing around. I pretty much cleaned anything that I could to keep me busy. I had nothing else to do afterwards, so I then took a bath, staying in until the water turned cold. I didn’t bother getting back into my clothes, I put on Edmond’s shirt again. I was bored out of my mind and needed something to keep me busy, so I braided my hair. I did two braids and it was a waste of time since I only had the one rubber band on my wrist. I was finally hungry enough to eat and ended up making a can of soup. You know you’re really bored when you are more than happy to wash a pot and a spoon. Yes, I ate right out of the pot, just as I did when Edmond cooked for me.

I’m not sure what time it is, but it’s been dark for a long time. I thought Edmond would have been back a while ago. I am starting to wonder if he’s actually coming back. Just because he said he was, doesn’t necessarily mean he is. He could have been blowing smoke up my ass for all I know. Although, I wouldn’t really take Edmond to be a liar.

Ugh, I really need something to do. If I were home, I’d be watching the television. More than likely it would be a movie. I’m a big movie girl. I love a good sappy movie or comedy. Not really into the horror ones. I go over to the window and peek outside. I’d be scared out of my mind if I watched a scary movie here. I get chills. I look up at the gun Edmond taught me how to shoot today. I silently thank him for teaching me. It is a bit comforting knowing I am somewhat protected.

I blow out one of the oil lanterns and then curl up on the couch. I stare up at the ceiling and yawn. I really don’t want to fall asleep. Last night I did that and I had a nightmare. I told Edmond this morning I didn’t recall having one. The truth is, I do remember it. I was back in that alley. The difference between real life and the dream was Edmond wasn’t there in my dream. I screamed out his name, but he never came. I fell to the ground, but in the dream I wasn’t going to live. I was shot and it felt like the life got sucked right out of me. I died because Raker didn’t come for me.

I sit up, I hear something outside. I look up at the rifle, to the door, back to the rifle. I jump off the couch.
