Then her hand flew to her mouth and she said, "Skip, is that you?" Actually it's Heather when I'm dressed like this, Kathy." What are you doing dresse...d like that? Come in here," she said as she grabbedher arm and dragged her in the apartment."Kathy, that's what I came to talk to you about." I think you'd better start explaining. Does Mom know about this?" No, I wanted to talk to you first and then maybe you'll help me talk toMom."Heather explained everything to Kathy and told her how she. I did as I was told and closed my eyes as tight as possible and allowed her to lead me into her room. Keep them closed while I put the final touches on it, no peeking. She teased. Of course, Tracie. I promi- right then I heard a very muffled sound coming from where her bed was, Umm what was that? I asked. Open your eyes and look, she purred in the most seductive voice I had ever heard her use. I opened my eyes and saw the most amazing thing I had ever seen in my life. Tracie was standing. Then I’d see a headless man, lurching towards me from the end of the hallway. The man was in a navy blue boilersuit, with an open gash in his chest, and he held a pair of blood-dripping eyeballs in one hand and was lifting a butcher knife, wildly slashing at the air with his other hand.Nearly every night, I had these dreams, if I could sleep. Which I started not wanting to do, because the dreams were so surreal and upsetting. I was also being awoken nearly every morning, sometimes in the small. Maria smiled then crawled back up to sit on my hips and lay down on my chest. I put my arms around her and she purred happily."John, I have a confession to make," she said."What's that?" I asked casually.She lifted her head to look at me. "When I said I have seen you around the neighborhood and I picked you out, that wasn't exactly the whole truth." Oh?" No. Actually, I kinda have a... a crush on you. Oh god, I can't believe I'm telling you this! I'm so embarrassed! I must sound like some.
