Hi, how are you? How are things there? Can you let Stuart know I’m going to come in tomorrow please? If you’ve got time we’ll grab a coffee. Xxx

I left the kitchen and went for a shower, standing under the hot water for a long time. Trying to figure out what to do. I’d have to ask Mum for a loan, but before I did, I needed to add up exactly what I owed.

In my dressing gown, with a towel on my head, I started to pull the envelopes out from underneath the wardrobe. I looked first at the pile of unopened mail, then to the brand-new trainers I’d thrown on my bed. I tore open the first letter. It was time to pull my head out of the sand.

HIM

The itching has started again. It crawls over my skin like a swarm of ants. I tried to stretch her out a bit longer, make her last. But it’s never enough. I try to relive it. The look of terror was so arousing, her green eyes like emerald pools as they met mine. Every time it’s the same, the shock etched on their faces. Their bodies betray the panic they try to hide. Hearts race, veins throb, skin as cold as ice. Their fear is invigorating, but the time in between leaves me impotent and longing. Each one is different, but they all comply.

She was special. I consumed her. Stirring in my groin builds until I get the release I crave. I hope she’ll be easy to find again. I considered following her as she staggered across the park, but I’m not stupid. I’m sure the police are following my trail and I must not make any mistakes.

I need more. No amount of violence can quell my urges. No amount of sex can satisfy my needs. In time I could surprise her, just when she thought I was a distant nightmare. If I had the chance again with her, I would take my time. I would make her last a lifetime

THURSDAY 12 OCTOBER 2017

I didn’t see Ben on Thursday. When I got up his door was shut, and I assumed he was asleep. When I got home from the boxing club, his door was ajar, and his car gone. I hoped he wasn’t avoiding me? I didn’t want things to be uncomfortable between us. As much as my feelings had grown towards Ben, in the cold light of day, getting involved with someone you lived with would likely end in tears and I didn’t want to look for another flatmate.
