 5I sat on the edge of my bed, drinking a glass of water I had just
 6gotten from the kitchen. My dog Bud was laying at the foot of the
 7bed. I stared into the glass, watching my own reflection, and
 8watching the reflection of the creature behind me.

11
12With a long face and empty eyes, and a mouth that could only be
13described as slender. It stared over my shoulder, it's hands at its
14sides. Sometimes I would think it was speaking to me, only to find
15that it was Bud whimpering.

19It always stared, yet when i turned I could not see it. when I
20closed my eyes it would be there, clear as day, yet when I opened
21them the creature would be gone. I could not explain it. The Dogs
22howls were going through the night sometimes.

26Why I could not say. Happened since I moved into this house. My
27girlfriend and child had left me because I would just lie awake at
28night. She said I had no emotion anymore. Said i should see a
29therapist. my kid said he loved me but said that he couldnt have a
30father that never helped him. he encouraged me to hug him and
31promise him I'd always be there and to leave the house with mommy.
32But he didn't really like that idea, so I didn't. Dog barked. Hear
33the name Luke.

36
37my dresser was an elegant wood paneling, and my floor had a lush
38red carpet. Sometimes he would seep onto it and make it seem black.
39i didn't know why, he just told me it would show me the way if i
40followed him. I always just sat on the bed though. The dog was
41scratching the bedpost now. heard the name Luke ringing in the back
42of my head.
43
44
45
46my glass of water was almost out. i looked out my window and saw
47him there, and he asked for me. i would just shake my head, as i
48had stopped spaeking. i had recieved a letter the other day that
49said i had to mkae my payments, but he told me it wouldnt be an
50issue. The dog attempted to lay on my lap. Heard ``Luke'', nothing
51but Luke and white noise.

54
55i told myself to go to sleep, but something was bothering me as if
56something was buried deep in my head. i kenw that i couldnt just
57take aspirin to get rid of it. i felt something at my foot but when
58i looekd down it wasnt there. my bathroom mirror could be seen in
59the crnoer of my eye, and he could be seen in the mirror. his
60fingers pointed at the bed, thuogh i didnt turn t see what he was
61pointing at. The dog jumped on the ground and stared at me.
62

64
65he came up to me and mvoed my hand. he put it on the dogs back and
66squeezed. i ddint know what was going on exactly but he asuserd me
67it wuold all be arlihgt. my hand ddint stop suqeezing for an hour.
68the dog didnt make any noise except the word ``Luke''.

71
72soon i had began laying down and fell asleep. i suddenly felt
73better. he had told me that i would soon be able to go to sleep. i
74remembered this feeling happening the day before my girlfriend left
75me. i fgiured that he just knew how to clam me down. i layed down
76and put my haed to rest.
