Hiding Out

Us Four (Gavin, Vinnie, Lex, and I) had our own sort of terror alert system, which didn't so much account for our level of watchfulness as it did for the level of wigging out we were doing.

1 - The least wigged out, which was those stretches of several days where it was as though there was really nothing the matter. No odd feelings, cold flashes, getting jumpy because we might have thought we saw something. Just total normalcy.

2 - Where we probably were the most often, if you take the length of time into account. Here wasn't much different from 1, except we stuck together more because there were those odd feelings and we did occasionally probably glimpse Him.

3 - We stayed in pairs because He would be lurking about town. We'd see Him one or two times a day, unless we were careful not to look.

4 - He'd be right outside, and we'd secure a part of the house and stay there together all day, trying to keep an eye on Him and wait Him out. It was like playing chicken, seeing which one of us would make a move first. Sometimes He would just leave, but not before coming right up to the windows or something.

5 - He comes in the house. Mad scramble. Shooting. Lex and Gavin yelling expletives at the top of their lungs, trying to out-do eachother. Get into the first car we see and drive without stoppping.

I think I'm somewhere about a 3 right now, except I have no one to pair off with so I'm trying to stay where there's a moderate amount of people, but not too many. Right now, though, everything's closed, so I'm on the floor in the kitchen eating chips and listening to the local rock station and pretending it's Gav and the boys.
