I saw it. They always talked about it when I was a child. A tall pale man... who has no face. I saw it staring out as it leaned from behind a building a crossed the way as I waited for my bus. I need to forget about it. I need to keep working.
I understand now. Why Dad acted the way he did. He was terrified...
I'm going to try and sleep again. Sweet dreams.

He's still looking. Call it a guess. Try to relax though. You'll go crazy if you keep this up. Find something to laugh about. Read The Onion. Try to stay stable.
