way of knowing with it being so dark. Not unless I go out there and search

myself.

And as much as I love horror films, I have no interest in starring in one.

Greyson joins me on the porch, his own eyes scanning the trees.

There’s someone watching me. I can feel it. I’m as sure of it as I am

about the existence of gravity.
