Staring right at me.

Determined not to react

I walk right past the cat.

It watches me.

It watches me.

It watches me.

I turn around.

There's another.

They're watching me.

They're watching me.

They're watching me.

I clutch my head and scream.

    I find little bursts of hope.

    And these little burst of light
