THIS BOOK KILLS Now they taste like ash in my mouth. When did you start to create your own happy memories, Orion? When did I get left out of the picture? Do you think of me at all anymore? Does it really matter? Like a dark shadow I move up the stairs, holding my breath. Through the walls I can feel him, his essence. I can hear his beating heart throbbing with emotion. I am moving closer now, closer to her and his cheating heart. I stand outside their bedroom door and listen to them sleeping. They are close now. I can hear the familiar sound of his peaceful gentle snore. I can hear her sigh and roll away. Then this: "Orion?" Her voice. "Orion, wake up." Snort. Grumble. "Huh? What is it? What's wrong?" "I think that there is someone here. In the house." Just like that I freeze and scenarios start to shift through my head like a motion picture montage. All of them terrible. I do not move. I cannot move. I am a still frame in this movie. The projector just broke down. It hits me. I am somewhere I do not belong. Suddenly I am cold sober. "Why?" sniffle stutter wheeze. "Did you hear something?" "No. I just feel this weird presence."
