The Neighboring Man
I watched her sit in the kitchen and talk to the old woman. I heard something about nightmares. They were talking about nightmares. I didn’t know why and I really didn’t care. I just wanted to own Evelyn. I did find out her name. I accidentally ran into the retarded man who lives with the old woman and asked him if he knew the woman who ran past his house.
“Oh, that’s Evelyn Trammel she is my friend,” he told me with his slanted eyes lighting up like firecrackers. He was crazy about her. It was obvious. It almost touched my heart that this woman had reached this mentally challenged man. It was sweet. “She runs by my house and she visits us too. She is the Night Runner.”
The night runner? That is interesting. I never thought of her as “The Night Runner”, but it kind of fits, since she does run at night. She probably sees a bunch of interesting things on her runs. She waves to me when she comes by during her run. She probably flirts with all the guys she sees. What a slut. She sings sometimes aloud and some of the songs she sings are not appropriate. Well, once I get her she will be trained to listen to better music and to consider me her master. I will be the reason she wakes up in the mornings. She had better respect me or I will rip her ass up: literally. She will beg for mercy if she does not do what I tell her. She will beg for my forgiveness and my love. She will be all consumed with what I want. It will be ALL ABOUT ME. Her abduction and training is going to be fun. I cannot wait to get started. I wonder what kind of nightmares she has. I wonder why they are talking about nightmares. That is a strange conversation piece. Her nightmares haven’t seen anything yet.
I want to be her dream man…her nightmare man. I want to be everything to her. I want to be the only thing on her mind when she sleeps. The very thought of her sleeping makes me hard. I start to wonder if she snores or does she make little sighs when she sleeps? Does she have wet dreams? I adjust myself and try to focus on what Evelyn and the old woman are talking about.
