Nobody can see him

In my room,beside my bed,there is a huge window.The view outside the window ain't that grand.Like for today,the street lights are extra glowy,trees are swaying under the gentle breeze,couple of houses in sight,a brown dog curled up in corner....am I seeing it correct? A man? Now why is he standing outside in the middle of the street and staring up my bedroom window.Well,I stare back at him.That's one thing I have learned from my friend Michelle,if people stare at you and make you feel uncomfortable,stare back at them.

Strange!A minute back I could only see his silhouette.And now I can see his face.He is smiling at me.What a creep! He is tall,rugged features and is dressed casually.To be honest,he doesn't really seem threatening.I think I should go and talk to him,ask him what his problem is.Don't really need to tell mum and dad.It'll take just a minute.

I run down the street and he is standing on the same spot,where he was standing before.I look at him and it feels like I have known him forever."So you are ready to go?".His voice...I know this voice.I have heard it before.But where?

He doesn't wait for me to answer and starts to walk.I follow him clumsily.My cheeks are hot against the cold breeze.Good lord! am I blushing?
We are walking through a forest.A forest? Am I hallucinating? A forest in the middle of the city? And where is this man taking me? Why am I even following him? It's so dark,that I can barely see my steps.But somehow I don't stumble and fall.I just keep walking through the forest.

He turns around and looks me in the eye."This world is a terrible place to live in.People are so full of hatred for each other.And this hatred makes them do such henious crimes.Hating someone is a sin,and you know that,don't you?" "Yes,I do." I know these words,the exact words.He has spoken to me before,in these exact words.But when? I don't know him.I have never even seen him before in my life.Oh god! mum and dad might be freaking out by now,it's so late.I have to get out of here.Away from this man.

He continues,locking me with his gaze,"And you need to repent.I can't let you go without it.You have to repent for the hatred that is present in this world.Don't make things difficult for me by resisting.If you comply,it won't take long." He gives me a purple velvet pouch.Inside the pouch is my dad's fish knife.How did he manage to steal this knife?"Do it now.Do it and you will have peace."

The sky is full of stars,million of them.How I love watching them.I had always wanted to become an astronaut.As I close my eyes and hit the ground I can feel the blood dripping from the cuts I have made.It's over.I did what he wanted me to do,he's gone.I can live in peace now.Peace,as he promised will come.

My parents will never believe me,but I had to do what he told me to.They think "he" doesn't exist.I have heard them talk,frequently.They think Iam a schizophrenic.Do I sound like a person who is unable to act or reason rationally?
