I am safe in my bed…alone. I close my eyes and let out a frustrated groan. I roll over in my bed and grab my pillow. Behind my closed eyelids, I try...to replay my dream. I remember the faceless man who always seems to haunt my dreams. Why? Night after restless night he torments me, touches me, fucks me, whispers to me. Night after night, I wake up only to realize, I am alone. I groan again. I am 26 years old. I have a great job. I have a great little house in a respectable community. What is.

She entered my parents bedroom and I slipped behind the door where she couldn’t see me. After sweeping half of the room she noticed that my mom left her locker open with the keys. Her face glowed with excitement. She went through everything in the locker and removed some jewellery.I decided to wait for some more time and see what she would do. She placed the jewelry on the bed and wore one by one. She wore a gold chain like thing around her waist and I could come without.
