Submitted to Contest #186

“I saw her again yesterday.” “By that do you mean you caught a glimpse of her or that you followed her again?” “I followed her again.” “Derek, we talked about this.” “I can’t help it, man. All I do is think about her. Night and day – it’s like… I just can’t let go.

Author bio

31 | KE Just a guy who loves books. No, I love stories. My love for stories started when I was young and now as a man obsessed with Stephen King's works, I have discovered that I love the scary kind.
