Dead Souls Volume One (Parts 1 to 13)

  ***

  Addendum – Will he ever leave me alone?

  As midnight approaches, my cursed companion continues his silent, invisible vigil. In my anger, I have begun to shout quite openly at him, admonishing him for his rudeness and demanding that he leaves me alone. He ignores me, of course, as is his wont, and I am quite certain that he is laughing at me. In fact, I believe I can even hear him guffawing every time I throw my weight at the door and try to force it open. What he doesn't realize, of course, is that his mocking tones only make me more determined than ever to break through.

  If I have to stay out here all night, I shall do so.
