DEAR LEO, something bad has happened. Strike that – a series of bad things have unraveled. Do you remember I said there was this indent on my bed at night? Like a ghost comes to watch me sleep? Well, there are two. Actually, I believe there are three. The second one is heavier and it feels exactly like when Mom used to sit on my bed holding you. I am not hallucinating. I drew three anatomically correct skeletons on the wall behind my bed whilst asleep. Two women, one with horns, and a child of about two or three years old in the middle. Every bone was marked and filed absolutely perfectly. I don’t know what I was thinking! I’m damn spooked, brother. I can’t remember doing it. When I went to sleep last night that indent on my bed was so pronounced. I fell asleep thinking of my mermaid and then no more thoughts until I woke up and stood at the end of my bed and saw the two skeleton women and the child drawn out perfectly – they were just looking at me.
