Denial

Mechanical Hound

Wow, it's been over a week since i posted, where do I begin? The next day after my encounter with Clarisse Mildred seemed perfectly normal as if nothing happened, but I knew she was not fine. The night before I found her on the brink of death after she swallowed an entire container of sleeping pills, although they took out the poison in her body, I knew they couldn't take away her real pain. What happened next still bothers me up until now. The mechanical hound we keep in front is programmed to kill anything but us firemen, but as I walked into the firehouse, it seemed to "stare", to "growl" at me with a murderous intent. Of course it didn't but I can't help but shake the fact that maybe it knows, maybe it knows the secrets behind the ventilator grille. Then there's Clarisse McClellan, for the past week she's met me at the same place we met and has walked me home everyday. It feels like we've know each other our whole lives, we just talk and talk until we have to part ways. Every now and then I would happily see her around the the neighborhood doing things only she would do. Then she disappeared, Millie tells me she was ran over and her family moved away, I don't want to believe this, but what else can I believe anymore.
