Entry 11: Diary of Anna Ross

Dear Diary

Last night I put my camera by my bed and left it on overnight to try and get a glimpse of him. I watched the footage sped up this morning, but I couldn't see anything. The picture dropped out a few times though and there was this weird audio distortion at around one a.m. But what really freaks me the f**k out is that my bedroom door stays closed all through the footage, but it was ajar when I woke up in the morning. It might have been Sophie. She sometimes comes into my room without asking. But then why wasn't she on the tape? 

I'm a wreck. I haven't been eating, I haven't been leaving the house. I told mom and dad I'm feeling sick, but soon they'll want me to go back to school. Everywhere I look I think I see him. In the corner of my eye every tree, every lamppost, every shadow looks just like him; standing there in his suit with his head cocked to one side like he's staring right at me. I haven't told anyone. I don't know why. I guess it's because I don't have any proof this thing's following me. 

The other night when I went to pull my curtains closed he was standing across the street, in front of Mr Cook's house. He was nearly twenty feet tall this time - bent over and staring through my window. But of course he wasn't f*****g staring because he doesn't have any f*****g eyes, does he? Anyway, I went to grab my camera but when I got back to the window he was gone. I haven't seen him since, but I can feel him.

I'm scared. I'm really f*****g scared. I feel like he's behind me right now as I write this, but I don't want to turn around in case I'm right. I keep waiting to feel his hand on my shoulder or something. I don't know what he is or what he wants or why he's chasing me or if he's even a he and I can't take it. I can't take it and I'm scared. I just want it to stop. I want it to be like it was before he came. Before all of this.

I'm going to bed now. I'll leave the camera on overnight again, but I don't think it'll get anything. Even if it does, even if I find out he's been standing in the corner of my room watching me sleep, I don't want to know. I just want it to stop.

Is this Anna on her journal, right? She was so scared and with reason. I wish she would have asked for help or talked to someone..

This is a thoroughly engrossing tale, told in a very creative way. I was going to comment on the last chapter, but couldn't, as i needed to read more! Figured i should take the time now, otherwise i will be at the end before i know it. Well done - I love it!
